Should I use 1Password for the 1P 2FA itself?

Hi,

Should I use 1Password for the 1Password 2FA itself? (or is it better to use a tool like Authy?)
Thank you

    @camilleroux - good question! Our instructions for enabling 2FA for your 1password.com account state right at the top that you'll need a separate authenticator app such as Authy or Google Authenticator (or a hardware device such as a Yubikey to set up 2FA for your account. Do NOT try to keep the TOTP secret for your 1Password account inside your 1Password account, or you can risk losing access to your data, depending on circumstances. Let us know if you have any further questions. :)
