[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 85179, post: 902208"] Doesn't matter. 2FA mean using a second factor. If you use a password manager for first factor (the password), you can't use the TOTP codes from the same vault as it's not a second factor. That depends on password manager and the 2FA app Every site provide you the backup codes at 2FA setup and recommend saving them secure. You can print them or store in another database which isn't on same device/ in same cloud. I print all these backup codes and put them in a safe, away from my house. Security is always comfort enemy No and this isn't how it works nor what i recommended. Read what 2FA is. Also you should read about the 2FA future which is the FIDO2 standard. This include WebAuthn but is backwards compatible with FIDO1 standard like U2F. I'm talking about hardware token. [/QUOTE]
