      I think 2fa-in-your-password-manager is slightly better than not using it, since it requires that the attacker have access to your password vault, so it still protects against cases where just your password leaked somehow, but yeah, definitely not as good as full 2fa.

      I disagree. 2FA also protects against a breach/leak of the site. If your password is leaked or stored insecurely, then the 2FA still helps.

        But to add to that as well: If the site has stored your password insecurely, they will probably have lost your 2FA secret too. Which even has to be stored in ‘plain text’ in contrast to your password.
