Using 1Password's TOTP for my 1Password Account
Is it advisable to use a separate TOTP app, such as Authy or Google Authenticator, for logging in to 1Password? Or can we use 1Password itself to provide a TOTP for logging into our account?

It is not advisable to use 1Password exclusively to generate TOTP codes for your 1Password account. It is not necessarily a bad idea to also store the TOTP secret for 1Password in 1Password. From our guide on this subject (available here):
Although 1Password can be used to store one-time passwords for other services where you use two-factor authentication, it’s important to use a different authenticator app to store the authentication codes for your 1Password account. Storing them in 1Password would be like putting the key to a safe inside of the safe itself.
I hope that helps!
