Ask HN: How many 2FA tokens do you have?

45 or so. But - they're all in 1Password, so the management is done for me. I don't have to scroll to a particular entry, it autofills everywhere I have to use them.

I also have a handful of yubikeys for more secure things.

Does it make sense to have passwords and OTPs at a space with the same attack vector?

Yes. It's not 2FA anymore but it still protects you when your password gets leaked.

That's not 2FA anymore though, if you regular password is also stored there.

2FA is "something you have" + "something you know". A password manager vault can be "something you have" and the password to the vault can be "something you know".

Eh, if your 1password account is breached it’s pretty much a game over scenario anyway for most users.
