Separate 2FA OTP app from my password manager (lemmy.world)

Do you think it's worth keeping 2FA OTPs in a separate source from your password manager? Currently I keep them in Bitwarden. I was thinking keeping them separate could add a little extra security in case my BW was cracked, but not sure it's worth the hassle of loading a second app for logins.

Do you know of an app that does 2FAs as conveniently as Bitwarden, in that it has mobile apps, browser extension, etc that can all access the same vault?

here's one i came across from an awesome-selfhosted list. i would need to test the PWA experience https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth

For me it depends how "hardened" the account needs to be.

For key accounts I keep the 2fa seperated (where possible with a fido token) For not so relevant accounts I add it to bitwarden. Because I probably wouldnt activate 2fa for these accounts if I'd have to pull out the phone each time

Edit: you also can add the 2fa token to a separate vault
