Do you think it’s worth keeping 2FA OTPs in a separate source from your password manager? Currently I keep them in Bitwarden. I was thinking keeping them separate could add a little extra security in case my BW was cracked, but not sure it’s worth the hassle of loading a second app for logins.

Do you know of an app that does 2FAs as conveniently as Bitwarden, in that it has mobile apps, browser extension, etc that can all access the same vault?

here’s one i came across from an awesome-selfhosted list. i would need to test the PWA experience https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth

    At the end of the day it is a matter of preference and convenience. Is it safer to separate them? Absolutely. Is it as convenient as keeping them in one place? Absolutely not.

    So, pick your poison. Personally I have my MFA tokens in three separate locations, two self hosted server applications and in a mobile app (2FAS Auth). More for fallback/backup reasons. Having them in my password manager is just too convenient.
