First off, I know you all say don't put your seed phrases on the password manager.  I understand that.  The thing is some seeds i want access to easily so that is why i stored it in password manager.
Why would you need to access the seed phrase easily? That's what wallets are for. Even so, if you must access it easily then write it on paper and carry it in your pocket (although that's also an incredibly stupid thing to do).

Don't most of you do that?
Yes, I use a password manager. The difference here is I have 2FA set up on all my important accounts, and I receive a notification on my phone whenever someone who isn't me tries to log in to anything important. You don't get that with a bitcoin wallet.

Do you write down your google authenticator for sites like coinbase and binance etc on password manager?  So that is not safe as well?
Oh my god no. Write down your 2FA codes on paper! What is the point of having 2FA if you store the back up code for it in the same place as you store the password for all your accounts. It isn't two factors if they are both stored side by side.

So what is the suggestion now?
The exact same it's been the last dozen times you have asked.
