What are folks' thoughts about using a password manager i.e. KeepassXC to store TOTP data (not the recovery codes) for MFA? My initial thought is that this sounds like a Bad Idea, but not sure if I'm being a bit too paranoid?

Retrieving All Dependencies Required by a JAR at Runtime (3 mins read).
How to handily retrieve the full runtime classpath required for a JAR file, using Gradle.

After you've added comments, it may need you to address things before it can then go out to others in the team
