2FA automatic fill in from 1Password
I've really been enjoying the automatic 2FA capability in 1Password. Well implemented on both laptop and iOS!
I can't help but feel like it's partially defeating the purpose of 2FA to have both the password and the 2FA in one single place (the 1Password entry). Isn't that more like 1FA?
On the other hand, I guess one way to look at it is that if someone has access to my 1Password vault my whole life is pretty much zonked, so what's one more thing?

@hesspaul: Glad to hear you're enjoying the two-factor authentication support! Indeed, that was a good discussion. Thank you for linking it! :)
Getting back to your original post, I think it's worth reiterating that having account the credentials stored inside the account itself isn't a security risk since someone would already have access to it to get them. So it really wouldn't be one more thing...and our "whole life is pretty much zonked" in that case anyway, as you put it so well. ;)
Actually, not I'm not sure if you had in mind using 1Password as an authenticator app to generate the codes, or two-factor authentication to secure your 1Password.com account itself. I suppose either way would be bad news if someone got in. But using a long, strong, unique Master Password will make it infeasible for someone to guess. Cheers! :)
