If someone get access to my password manager, I’m screwed anyway. It contains far enough information to bypass any MFA of any service.

Well isn’t that a problem in itself then?
The way I understand it, the password database should only contain the passwords; then if someone got access to it (or your email app, same thing, as they would just do a password reset) 2FA would still protect you.
