Security-wise it’s not a good idea to keep passwords and 2FA codes in the same client as it then becomes a single point of failure. A standalone authenticator app resolves that as long as it’s not unlocked with the same master password. A standalone app also opens a venue for non-BW customers to get on their platform.
It's not a good idea to keep both on the same device, but i wouldn't use it at all if it was a struggle
Would it count if the application is the same but all the TOTP is handled by a different database with a different passphrase?
Depends on how they got broken
