    My only issue with these tools is that you’re putting both your passwords and the 2fa in one basket.

      That is true, though you could keep your password and totp databases separate theoretically. I’m not sure if keeping them in say separate apps brings much benefit if your phone/pc gets compromised though, as most people would have both available on their device… totp is more about convince, it’s never as secure as a hardware thing say yubikey.
