When I mean accessing seed easily, I mean like if you don't have your seed with you because you are in another location.
Then carry a good hardware wallet with you. This is infinitely more secure than carrying around you seed phrase.

Can you tell me what accounts these are that are not bitcoin wallet?
Literally every account which lets me use 2FA.

I had thought you put your two factor authorization on password manager.
This defeats the entire point of 2FA. If someone compromises your password manager, then they have both your password and your 2FA code, and so your 2FA achieves nothing.

So where do you store those then?  If you have a copy on your computer, then isn't it risky if you ever catch malware then?
I have a tiny amount of coins stored on hot wallets. Yes, if I was to become infected with malware those coins would be at risk. That is a risk I am willing to take because of the tiny amount of coins and the fact that I have never once been infected with malware because I don't go around clicking on random links.

What two factor authorization do you use for all your accounts?  I assume google authenticator?  Or something else?  I heard things about authy which is similar to google authenticator and yubikey?
Aegis or a hardware key. Google Authenticator and Authy are bad choices.

So how do you protect yourself in situations like this?  Make sure you have kaspersky or bitdefender?
I don't click on random links and I don't use Windows.
