Thanks for posting this. I'm going to link back to this whenever anyone claims that using AWS/etc means you don't need any experienced infrastructure/ops people.

As for the actual question: what browser/password manager in 2024 doesn't support both options 1 and 2?

To answer your question in your second line I'd have to refer back to your first line with a chuckle...

I wish there were a simple step-by-step guide for (example) how to set up MFA in AWS using my browser/password manager. As in, an ELI5 explanation. Gosh that would help demystify this stuff! Not that it's mysterious or anything... but for the uninitiated it's a bit of a steep learning curve!

For passkeys, your password manager should prompt you to save them if it supports them.

For the authenticator (TOTP), you just save a QR code where it tells you. Just google "TOTP <your password manager>" and I'm sure you will find a guide
