I use Aegis on my phone and in the past I've used pass-otp on my laptop.
The minor amount friction this causes (oh no, I need to get up off my couch, walk three steps to get my phone...oh calamity) is worth it every time I read about a hack. It isn't a magic shield, but it is reassuring to know that having 2FA activated adds another layer of security.
I might move to Bitwarden someday.
I was very surprised this year when one of my employers made 2FA mandatory. I decided to test out what would happen if I deactivated it, and 20 minutes later I had an email telling me to reactivate it.
