Does anyone know why there are no dedicated Authenticator apps made by for example Proton or Bitwarden?

I’m aware that they have TOTP baked into their password managers but you still need to have at least one separate solution to log into your vault.

    Kinda think its to keep costs down. They already have their builtin totp generators so making a separate application seems kinda redundant. Unless you mean why they don’t make their own hardware security key? That’s probably also to keep costs down (materials, vendors, marketing, upkeep, etc…). I would also like to have a rival with the same credibility for yubikey though in case something happens to the company.
