I personally love keeweb. Passwords and 2fa all in one place.

I mean you could argue that defeats the purpose of having 2fa, but it's convenient

Yup. I'm actually a bit baffled by how much negativity/misinformation there's around 2FA even in a place like this, which should naturally have a more technically inclined userbase.

Hard disagree. I do not want to have 2FA for every shittly little thing I do not care about.

Use a password manager that lets you autofill 2fa, like Bitwarden.

Get a hardware 2FA key instead of using your phone for TOTP

I don't like how a lot of things require their own custom app, especially when there's no automatic notification. I need to try and remember what the app is called, open it, navigate through, then approve it

You can use KeePassXC to generate the TOTP codes on your PC. With the browser plugin, you can generate the code and fill the textbox with one click when the password database is unlocked.

Sites that don't use standard TOTP for 2FA are a pain in the ass though.
