    Yeah basically, but MFA is honestly not that needed if you use a password manager, secure passwords and URL based autofill. MFA was invented to protect plebs that use bad passwords and easily fall for phishing sites.

      It’s still good practice even if your password is secure. That way bad actors would still need your MFA code if your data ever gets leaked or stolen.

        Yeah but in that sense my method still fulfills that requirement. They would need to actually get access to my locally stored kdbx file and my master key. If they get that then everything is fucked anyways.
