I'm using AEGIS Authenticator from FDroid and I'm very happy with it
Bitwarden also has 2FA integration, either through their Premium subscription (a few $/y) or self-hosting (which I'm doing, it's really trivial).
I do this too but something about putting the second factor right next to the password is pretty silly.
I know it weakens its purpose but personally cba to grab my phone / open another app every time I want to log into something. It automatically copies the 2fa code to the clipboard too after having it fill in the password which is very convenient.
In my mind it's ok because much of the utility of TOTP is to mitigate for people reusing the same password on multiple sites.
But there are other threats like someone accessing your device that might be mitigated with TOTP but aren't when the TOTP is in the password manager.
