[QUOTE="Thales, post: 902207, member: 67896"] I disagree. If the password manager is properly protected then it is completely fine to use the in-built TOTP feature. 2FA apps use the same encryption model than password managers. Also we need backup codes to login if we lost access to the 3rd party 2FA app for some reason. Where should we store the backup codes if we can't store that in our password manager? Should we use another app or encrypted doc? It is complicated and also increase the risk to lose the backup codes. If I follow your statement then we should use different app for username, passwords, 2FA codes and backup codes. Different apps for everything. [/QUOTE]
