Not me. I had the TOTP factors in my password manager for a while, and boy was it nice, but eventually I decided that was a risk I wasn't willing to take. I feel safer knowing that they have to beak into at least two different apps.
I use Authy to manage my 2FA codes, but I rarely ever use the desktop app. I stick to my phone to keep a physical separation between my logins and my 2FA app.
I also started storing my backup codes as a base64 encoded gpg password encrypted text file in my password manager. If I ever lose my 2FA codes I can still get into my accounts in a emergency while also protecting myself from a password manager hack.
It's annoying, but as I said, I'm not willing to take the risk.
