Does it make sense to use two factor authentication with password protected wp-admin folder?

I've finished building my wordpress website and now, I'm concerned about the security of the website.

To improve security, I'm using Google two factor authentication plugin while also password-protecting the wp-admin folder besides the default username-password login of wordpress.

My question is, does it make sense to apply all these layers of security? Am I being silly about this? I mean, if either two of these protection methods are used, instead of three, and it is enough, then using all three will be too much of a hassle without bringing significant improvement in security. What do you think?
