yeah, while I understand that, it's not every time I have both my phone and computer together at the same time

using a standalone OTP on either one of them would make the opposite a pain in the ass to use

I take a lot of precautions with my main vault password, even got a biometric reader so I don't have to type the password that much

You're absolutely right. It's all about your threat model, how much convenience you're willing to lose and what not.
I absolutely should do more to minimize potential risk, but it's really so convenient to just.... Have it all in 1 place...

Something that I do to make sure I’m more protected is that I don’t put the two-factor for my main email accounts into Bitwarden.

This is a smart solution. Only solution I have so far is self hosting bitwarden, using unique password to login, and having 2fa to login to bitwarden, where the key is in bitwarden, and on aegis on a phone at home.
