I use this, it works great for when you're on a laptop and can't be bothered to pull out your phone to enter the 2FA code (because it works cross-platform on web, desktop, and mobile, all syncing together). Yes, technically this is a corruption of the principles of why you'd need 2FA in the first place, as the second factor is obviated when everything is on one device, but I find the risk acceptable, no one is going to hack into my laptop at home, and if they do, I have bigger things to worry about than 2FA.

If your threat model involves “don’t have your 2FA codes on your desktop”, it must also include “don’t have your passwords on your phone”.
- satvikpendem 2y agoThat's probably true. For what it's worth I don't save passwords on my phone either.
