Use your password manager's built-in 2FA feature
4
Some password managers like 1Password and Bitwarden can store and auto-fill 2FA codes alongside your passwords. When you log in, the manager fills both your password and the 2FA code in one step. This centralizes your security in one tool.
Why It Works
Combining passwords and 2FA codes in one manager simplifies the login process and makes it more likely you will actually enable 2FA on all your accounts. Convenience drives adoption.
Tips
- Security purists argue against storing 2FA in the same app as passwords — if the manager is compromised, both factors are exposed
- For most people, the risk of not using 2FA at all is far greater than the risk of having it in the same manager
- Use a separate authenticator app or hardware key for your password manager's own 2FA — that account is the master key to everything
