I use 1Password, but I'm not sure storing the OTP next to the password is a good idea?


The idea is that you protect your password vault with 2FA and a strong password.

It slightly raises the risk in the scenario where your password vault gets hacked, but like with putting all your passwords in the same place, if you've only got 1 place to protect it becomes easier to protect it more thoroughly.
