Should I use 1Password to manage the OTP for 1Password?

@Peter_Wang
I store all of my OTP keys in 1Password and use 1Password for autofill the codes. This makes the mfa codes available on my desktop PC without me requiring to look on my smartphone.
However, I also store some of my OTP keys in Microsoft Authenticator - the ones I need to access my vital services, such as 1Password itself. This way I don't get any circular dependency. I need Microsoft Authenticator anyway for my Microsoft account and its push authentication.

If you don't like Microsoft Authenticator, consider Google Authenticator. That one is completely independent from any online service and a standalone app.

In case you don't know how to duplicate the OTP keys: you can always scan the QR codes as often as you want. When you sign up for mfa on some service, scan the QR code with 1Password and at the same time with the authenticator app.

@ag_mike_d, thanks for the link to that helpful Guide on protecting 1Password with 2FA. I admit: I had not been aware of this important feature, in part because it's hidden so obscurely. And I generally review all the settings in every app, because I'm that kind of nerd.

Problem is, I would expect to enable 2FA via "Settings" (in the right-side navbar under the account's name). I don't think of this as an attribute of my "Profile", and even if I did, I'd never think of it as an "Action". It's a security setting.

Even if I'm wrong (or weird) with that expectation, I suggest that this is important enough to put on the main page, rather than behind a "more stuff" link.

As for the app, I do appreciate that it would be a challenge to make this more obvious there, because the app supports multiple accounts, and thus its "Settings" feature is not specific to any one account. (Although that could be changed with a drop-down menu, I can't see that significant task getting high priority.) Even so, I'd expect "manage accounts" to be in the main menu, rather than behind my list of vaults/collections.
