> If you're using a password manager to have unique passwords for every site, what does TOTP 2FA even protect you against?

Sounds a little obvious to write it out, but it protects against someone stealing your password some way that the password manager / unique passwords doesn't protect you against. Using a PM decreases those risks significantly, mostly because how enormous the risks of password reuse and manual password entry are without one, but it certainly doesn't eliminate them entirely.
