Feature Request: Two-Factor Keys in App

I regularly have to use my 1password app to log in to public computers or my work computer. That is why I love multi-factor authentication and I have it enabled were ever I can.

Today I was logging in to Dropbox and did my usual, open up 1password, use TouchID, find the password and type it in. Then I jumped out to the two-factor app I use called "Authy," and a thought hit me. Why can't 1password support showing me my token? I already store the secret key in 1password (Some people might not think that is a great idea.) I would love to be able to have a field that says "show secure token" or something like that. Basically bake Google Authenticator into 1password.

Is it any less secure? If somebody can gain access to my phone and get in to 1password they can gt access to my authenicator app. If anything it is more secure because it puts those tokens behind either TouchID or my vault password.

Heck, even a button to jump me out to Google Authenicator or another app would be nice.

Also, if anybody has ever used Authy, it has a neat bluetooth connection option for desktops were it can enter your secure key FROM your phone using bluetooth when the phone is in range. Take a look at it, it would be a neat thing to integrate in to the 1password desktop app.

I know some people would probably think this defeats the purpose of two-factor, but like anything, people have different levels of security needs. I use two-factor for security, but I hate it, and it would be nice to make it as convenient as possible. It seems silly that I need to jump between two apps to log in, when it has no security advantage to be separate.
