I use keepass (yes, i am fully aware having the password and second factor together is bad). The only defense i have is that my database is never uploaded to the cloud and is synced either via flash drive or syncthing. Also my master password is over 20 characters with lower, capital, numbers, and symbols.

Well, TIL it’s not a good idea to have passwords and 2FA in the same place. I use 1Password and have had almost all my 2FA’s in there since they added support for it.

I used Bitwarden for a while because I liked having everything on one app. A bug with their service made me spent a day without my 2FA codes, and if your subscription fails to renew by accident they also lock the codes. Noped right out of there.
I now use Google Authenticator. Nothing special, not going to be the favorite comment on a privacy community... But it works, is free, syncs across devices, is guaranteed to work well on Android. Super simple.

I usually use authy for 2fa and bitwarden for passwords
Although everything is said I join the choir.
For my personal account I use Aegis and for work Raivo. Both have a nice encryption and automated backups.
On desktop I also use Bitwarden for some acvounts in combination with a script piping rbw to Wofi/Rofi.
I use Google Authenticator with no backup. I religiously store my backup codes in my password manager. I'll probably switch to a different app soon, since I'm not a fan of the recent Google Authenticator changes.
After my Authy fiasco, I use Authenticator Pro, Zoho OneAuth, and Microsoft Authenticator.
Auth Pro is my main (auto backup to Nextcloud). The other apps are for redundancy.
The tried and trusted aught and bitwarden combo.
Started with self hosting Vaultwarden
Moved onto an annual family subscription to Bitwarden

I use both Aegis and VaultWarden (self-hosted). Both can be backed up locally or synced.
Aegis on Android, Raivo on iOS
KeePassXC for me…
I'm using Google Authenticator. It was recommended by Discord and FACEIT at the time. FACEIT didn't let me queue for any CS:GO matches unless I had it. I don't know if i have the option to switch, but if I can... should I?

I use aegis for totp which has automatic backups to android cloud (Google Drive but only accessible for the app that created the folder) and for important accounts that support it I have a yubikey as well
My passwords are saved in vaultwarden
1password for me, as I get a family account through my work, as we have a corporate plan and every employee gets access to a family plan as a perk. The family plan is separate and not accessible through work so no one gets access to anything private, it’s just a regular 1pass account we get for free basically.
I use the open source BitWarden password manager as a self hosted service and I am using its otp feature as it is really handy
keepass (xc/dx) and aegis
