Password managers like 1Password also can act as OTP apps for 2FA.

That has the advantage you can install the password manager in several devices, so losing one is not catastrophic.

But the downside of you downgrading your security to just 1FA

If your master password gets hacked sure, but it's still resistant to one of your passwords getting phished/leaked.

Maybe it's 1.5FA ?

1Password isn't 1FA. And with 2FA set up on your account, it's 3FA to decrypt the contents.
