Yes - hence the "1.5" factor.
My Bitwarden account is protected by 2FA (via Authy - only backup method is SMS - which has become handy at one point when my phone was pick-pocketed abroad in Amsterdam as I'm able to get a replacement SIM card from my operator) but then if you get past that (and the master password) then you've 'pwned' me.
It's a trade-off of convenience and security really - I think I'm doing a lot more than the average Joe and feel relatively secure. For the majority of my accounts (FB/Twitter/Instagram etc. etc.) if you get the password you're getting nowhere. Even then using a password manager I have a different password for every service so unless you breach my password manager you've at most made it into one account - if that doesn't have 2FA via Bitwarden.
You might struggle a bit moving away from Authy though if you ever want to as it does a lot of 'proprietary' stuff. I had to use a bit of JavaScript to extract my TOTP codes from the Chrome Web App (e.g. for Twitch) otherwise you're unable to get them out of Authy.
