I'm migrating the handful of accounts that I have 2FA set up in from using Authy to using Proton Pass. But I'm stuck on my Proton account itself. Should I keep Authy just for my Proton account and then once I'm in, I can use Pass for the rest of the 2FAs?

What do you do?

Authy really sucks, you can use Aegis on Android or ente Auth on iOS.

Sure but do I split off my Proton account from the rest?

What do you mean? You just add your Proton Account to an authenticator app (not Proton Pass) and you keep all of your other stuff in Proton Pass.

That is what I mean. Does it make sense to have one app (Aegis) just for one account (Proton) and then another app (Pass) for all other 2FAs?

There's nothing wrong with this setup. Of course, it's more secure to keep your passwords separate from your 2FA tokens, I store them in Aegis and only use my password manager for my credentials.
