A lot of password managers support 2fa now. I use Enpass because I got a lifetime license a long time ago (it's also available to people with Google Play pass), but I know some other popular options have it too.

    The whole point of 2FA is to keep the second factor separate from the first. If you store both in the same password manager app that defeats the entire point of 2FA.

    It still protects you from your passwords being compromised in any way except through a compromise of the password manager itself. Yes, it's worse than keeping them separate, but it's also still much better than not having 2fa at all.

    I only switched to keepass due to the fact that nothing seems to support a desktop application like authy did. Not everyone keeps a phone on them 24/7. If they don't want that risk they would allow desktop apps. least in my opinion
