    Keeping 2FA Secrets in a Password Safe?

    I use my password manager to generate TOTP second factor codes. I know this is controversial, with some folks claiming it reduces multifactor authentication down to a single factor and is therefore no better than just a username/password, but I disagree, and I can explain why.
