Proton pass

Guys I use proton mail and proton pass but the issue I have is that how can I have a secure password for proton mail with 2fa if I use proton pass? If I have a less difficult password then I am lowering my security and If I want to have a 2fa (with local encrypted file) then I have to save it on some secure cloud, which for me is proton drive or mega then again I have those passwords saved in proton pass so I would have to login to proton pass first, If I lower password of those apps then again it risks security. ( I am sorry I am so confused). Please help!

    Correcthorsebatterystaple is good and all, and I’m probably literally the only person dumb enough to have this problem, but because of it my work password, which I have to type multiple times in a row regularly throughout the day due to our protocols, is 45 characters long. This is not an exageration, I counted.

    Should I have picked something shorter since I already knew how often I would need to type it? Yes. Should I just bite the bullet and reset it early? Also yes. Don’t be like ol’ uncle Hazzia, kids.

      Okay yeah I’ll admit that’s pretty bad, haha. The only password I actually know nowadays is the passphrase to my Keepass database, which clocks in at 40 characters. I rarely say this to people, but have you considered a shorter password? :P

        I don’t even know my master password :D I use some script to generate it and I just copy+paste it.
