[QUOTE="notabot, post: 841473, member: 75970"] If you're hacked you're done, they take all the passwords from your local machine when you decrypt them with your master password - not from the remote server. To mitigate this 1) never store your 2FA codes for your accounts on the same password manager you use for your passwords (I'd go as far as don't use the same machine, to maximally decouple the 2nd factor from your passwords) 2) take measures to secure the machine to avoid compromise 3) don't sweat over it, if they only have the passwords without the 2FA codes for your logins nothing can happen and if you use a good security product this should not happen in the first place.
