I agree the core issue is not just autofill itself, but the fact that all credentials, including the TOTP code, are accessible in the same environment during the period that a password manager is unlocked. That is the vulnerability I am focused on.
I do use lock timers, but as you said, the extension may stay unlocked even when the desktop app locks, depending on the settings. And if a hijack happens while the vault is open... full exposure.
Sure, there is theory vs likely. But I am trying to create a workflow where the second factor is not available in the same environment as the first. For now, keeping TOTP outside my password manager is the best way to do that, in my opinion. There are probably many other what ifs we could challenge, too!
