While you are adding this anyway consider using an open source app instead of google auth like aegis. There are many others but I wish I knew about them sooner.

I personally love keeweb. Passwords and 2fa all in one place.

I mean you could argue that defeats the purpose of having 2fa, but it's convenient

It weakens it a bit, but in my opinion it still has strength where it counts. If an attacker gets access to your password outside your password manager (man-in-the-middle, keylogger, phishing), then you’re still protected. Maybe it’s hubris in my own ability to keep my password manager safe, but I’ve never been worried about storing MFA in my password manager.

Bitwarden crew checking in. The best thing about bitwarden is the 10$/year to have a pro account. It gives you, amongst other things the ability to store up to 1tb of attachments and reports on various risk assessments.

You can even host your own instance.

I recommend it.

You probably shouldn't be storing your passwords and 2FA in the same place.

Just moved my github MFA to aegis.
