    Honestly.... This is why I have everything in Bitwarden. All 2FA runs through it so even if my phone got stolen, I could still access everything. I honestly don't understand why more people don't pay the $10 a year and just use Bitwarden.

      I always feel conflicted with this.

      Using my password manager to store 2FA codes is convenient, but it adds a layer of indirection if they are elsewhere.

      But if you've compromised my password manager, you almost certainly have enough access to my machines to get to the alternatives.
