1Password on 2FA And Storing Passwords and One-Time Codes Together

Megan BarkerSecurity Scribbler, on 1Password Blog:

The short answer is that storing your TOTP in 1Password is safe. It’s also faster and more convenient than using a separate, dedicated app. The rest of this article is the nuanced (and far less brief) answer. It addresses what dedicated authenticator apps provide (and don’t provide), and how you can 2FA the right way.

Of course they’re going to say it’s fine, but it’s a good article. And — don’t tell anyone — is exactly what I do.
