If proprietary app is better and more robust I am willing to try it and assess it myself.

      Two factors is like a second step, the 2FA is normally this token (TOTP) that is generated every X minutes, so if someone steals your password, they still need another number that they will not get unless they hacked your device, and if they hacked your device, they probably have access to many of your data or access to that secret token to log in. Doesn’t mean they should be separated, but you could, still the safest way to keep all secure isn’t splitting passwords and tokens but using a hardware key. That’s my view.
