    2-factor would be fine if it didn’t have to involve my phone. It’s such a pain in the ass. Like a second password would be fine, so my password manager could just do both at once.

      I don’t think you get why 2fa is more secure. That would be basically the same as having one password.

        I guess I don’t

        I just want them to make it so I can use my password manager, because juggling multiple authentication apps and sms messages etc just makes me less likely to turn on 2fa in the first place.

      A second password would not be 2FA, it would just be two passwords.

      2 Factor refers to 2 different ways of proving your identity. Something you know (your password) and something you have (your phone). You can also get dedicated 2FA devices, they look like a little USB drive with a screen, but honestly, they are more of a pain to deal with than your phone, and most 2FA systems do not have support for all the different brands and devices.

      KeepassXC can hold your password and your otop codes. It is recommended to use different databases tho.
