[QUOTE="forgottenuser79643, post: 999865, member: 88069"] In my experience and knowledge, it's a matter of give and take. A password manager should always be locked with a master password, and a (T)OTP on top of that prevents access to your password manager for when that master password has either been breached, cracked or found out. Then they'd have to go through the second layer which you'd have the TOTP code needed for through your 2FA app on android for example. You'd have to choose whether the inconvenience is worth it for your uses and habits. [/QUOTE]
