If you use a password manager, you might not be part of the target group that benefits most from a second factor.

A decent password manager nudges you into using unique passwords per service. Good password managers also offer you a browser extension, which injects the password directly into the DOM instead of using the clipboard, and checks the domain, too. It's not 100% secure, but at that point, 2FA may be a diminishing return already.
