    2-factor would be fine if it didn’t have to involve my phone. It’s such a pain in the ass. Like a second password would be fine, so my password manager could just do both at once.

      I don’t think you get why 2fa is more secure. That would be basically the same as having one password.

        I guess I don’t

        I just want them to make it so I can use my password manager, because juggling multiple authentication apps and sms messages etc just makes me less likely to turn on 2fa in the first place.

      There are options for 2fa for desktop, for Windows and Linux^. You could have multiple devices with your 2fa codes, makes it not as bad if your phone breaks.

      ^ (though from my experience with the Windows ones they are not as robust, but they get the job done)

      Edit: syntax jank…

      KeepassXC can hold your password and your otop codes. It is recommended to use different databases tho.
