No. Here are two differences between a password manager and 2FA: 1. A password manager will prevent someone from hacking into a website you use, stealing your password, then logging into another website as you. 2FA won't prevent this because someone who hacks into to a website can get access to the unique random seed that is used to generate the 2FA sequence, and can then use brute-force to determine your password. 2. 2FA will prevent someone from infecting your computer with a virus, stealing your password as you type it in, then using that password to log in as you in future. A password manager wont prevent this because the virus will gain access to both your main password and the list of encrypted randomly-generated passwords. |
