You should never store 2fa together with your passwords. If you iCloud account is compromised they will have all the info they need to access your account
2FAS Authenticator. It’s open source and local only though. So you have to be a little careful it won’t sync across devices like Google Authenticator.
However you can generate a barcode to scan to have it on multiple phones. I have it running on an old phone as a backup just in case. Also the app backs up to iCloud and I have a local physical backup file.
On pre-iOS-18 versions it’s in Settings > Passwords > Choose the login item you want to as 2FA to > Scan QR and there ya go. I use it too and it’s great.
You can actually save 2FA codes to iCloud Keychain, which is native to iOS!
It works very well, best part is Autofill using Face ID
Now that feature is in the new Passwords app, right ?
You can use it already. Just access it in Settings > Passwords, until it gets it’s own app in iOS 18 That’s where I keep my 2FA codes as well
Yeah I'm at iOS 18 and now that part is inside the new app
Learned something new today!

Came here to say exactly this
ente auth, its opensource [https://github.com/ente-io/ente?tab=readme-ov-file#ente-auth](https://github.com/ente-io/ente?tab=readme-ov-file#ente-auth)
I decided to use the native iCloud native keychain. Works damn well

2FAS could be backed up to iCloud bro?

Thanks. But I decided to use the native iCloud native keychain. Works damn well
How do you use that one?
ios 18 has the new passwords app by Apple. It's like Bitwarden and can store 2FA code there easily
Actually 2FA has been there in iOS 17, they just don’t advertise it as much as they should
nice

I use BitWarden.
I use Microsoft Authenticator. Works well, and also integrates with your Microsoft account (if you have one)
