Hey @bitwarden you are being misleading and it's making us sad.

Your website currently has a misleading link (and its affecting us being able to recommend ur tools).

Your dedicated Authentor app on the "Bitwarden Authenticator' page, has a Download it today button at the top of the page > That SHOULD take folks to the Authenticator download links (like at the bottom of the page), but instead it takes people to download the FULL Bitwarden Password Manager software.

Currently we're having to recommend folks use an alternative service as this is coming across as sneaky and dirty tactics. Really hoping it was unintentional. Regardless, pls fix so that this link takes ppl to download the tool they are expecting.

We were hoping to recommend ur service at our upcoming Digital Lounges, but we only endorse the most ethical open providers and stuff like this is the stuff the community notices.
