Not storing the totp seed in the password manager has the drawback that you might not be able to recover access to some of your accounts when you loose (access to) your totp seed. I think this is more than just a "quality of life" improvement if this is something central like your email account. On the other hand it might be preferable to be locked out of your account if you loose your seed rather than someone else gaining access when he gains access to your vault. | |
