Then what do you use for your password manager?

I’ve always been of the mindset that storing your 2fa next to your passwords at least partially defeats the purpose of 2fa.

The two types of attacks I worry about would be a hacked/leaked password from a third party site, or your password manager being compromised. While the latter is far less likely, it is still something I’d like to protect myself from as much as possible.

I’m using BW for both passwords and 2FA and have Yubikey set up for BitWarden.

If my password manager is compromised, I’m well and truly fucked. If one site has shitty security (odds of which are approximately 1), having 2FA might help.
