Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Could you copy & paste in here the details of your BW password manager app (Settings --> About --> Version)?

And when you enter "Edit mode" for your TOTP seed code, does that TOTP seed code string contain "--" as a component for your username?

ou, my steam style secret code is like this “steam://helloworld”, it doesnt contain a username, because my some other TOTP secret code only contain secret could show item name. How can I add name component in the url to test this issue?

Updates have been made here to better support theses types of TOTP codes in the Sync functionality.

Important to note that you will need to have updated both the Password Manager and Authenticator to the appropriate version in order for these changes to function properly.

These changes will roll out to production in the next few weeks.

@yjdyamv The fix was merged on Mar 25, and seems to not be included in authenticator app 2026.3.1 (as you can see via this comparison).

(that's probably why @david-livefront wrote "...in the next few weeks")

@pamperer562580892423 oh, thanks, I see it. And Is there any place to get the app with the pr without self-building it for testing? If it works on my phone, I will close this issue.

@yjdyamv You can find the specific artifacts for that specific PR here:

• Password Manager
• Authenticator

Thanks, in version 2026.4.0, this issue have been solved.
