    If you start storing the password and 2FA at the same place, it defetes the purpose of the 2nd factor authentication. Better to keep them in two places.

    Without the passwords the 2fa codes are nothing. Even if your password manager got hacked, most of your accounts would be safe as the 2fa is not there.

      I was thinking about it, but unless you get your password manager compromised one-time passwords still offer additional protection (in case only the password is leaked in a security breach).

      I will try self hosting regardless, but for now I might omit TOTP and stick with Aegis.
