2FA on GitHub means for me that I have to log in on my phone as well thru the GitHub app and acknowledge the login attempt from the desktop. Besides that I use the Google Authenticator app to generate OTPs for all kinds of purposes. That copies the six digit code to the clip board which on my computers is shared between phone and desktop so on desktop I can simply paste. Regarding password managers: I use apple’s keychain for pretty much everything (as I have to trust apple anyways) and for other secrets (credit card pins, recovery codes, whatever) I like pass (I use the incarnation „gopass“) which works via GPG encrypted files in git which lets you use the usual git mechanisms to sync files (there is also a version on the phone).
