From a security perspective, unlocking your third-party password manager AND your 2FA authenticator on the same phone with FaceID is not the best solution. An attacker who manages to compromise FaceID will have access to your credentials as well as your 2FA codes.
That’s why I recommend a separate 2FA app with a custom 6-digit pin lock.
Try 2FAS. Open-sourced. Also works on Android. Has a browser extension that allows automatic 2FA entry paired with a phone.
OTH, if you need a Windows client, then Authy may be the way to go. Need to religiously copy the TOTP secret (when setting up) and save it somewhere else, though. Because it doesn't officially allow export, it might be a bitch to move to other authenticators.
this!
Protonpass, it’s free, opensource and supports multiple platforms as well.
From what I can see on their website, the 2FA feature is only available if you pay $1/month. No gratzie.
