Why do password managers charge for TOTP code generation? (lemm.ee)

Is this some sort of a convenience feature hidden behind a paywall to justify purchasing their subscriptions or does generating the codes actually cost money? If the latter is the case, how do applications like Aegis do it free of cost?

Not 100% on board with that idea. There is no guarantee the server is not tampered. Unless you know and trust the host, Bitwarden premium is very affordable and Vaultwarden can be hosted even on free VPS. Or you can even use a KeePass fork (I'm not up to date as to what the best ones are) with any form of online sync.

KeePassXC (windows/macos/linux), KeePassDX (android) are what I use. I sync the databases between 4 devices with Syncthing.

Thanks for the info! I'm a happy Bitwarden subscriber, but it's good to know.

Well, yes, I agree on that. Just wanted to name another option in case that's okay for the OP. I host my own instance on my private NAS and I absolutely love it. :)

If you are willing to host something yourself you might as well selfhost Nextcloud and use KeePass(XC) with it.

What's the best free VPS? I pay about $15 per year for mine... But its good enough to run woocommerce/wordpress for a small store
