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

    KeypassXC has otp support and they recommend storing those codes in a second database seperate from the passwords themselves.

        If your password file gets lost/compromised/stolen your accouts are still safe with the MFA codes being stored elsewhere.

          Ok, but how does the password file get compromised but the 2FA file not? Why not have a separate password file for every login with a different password then?
