You can use Bitwarden Premium for 2FA keys. It's pretty cheap and well worth it to support development ($10/yr).
If you're on Android and don't want to pay for Bitwarden Premium, I'd use something like Aegis Authenticator.
I personally think it's best to keep 2FA keys out of password managers.
The whole point of 2FA is to have a seconds factor to authenticate you.
If someone gets access to your password vault with your 2FA keys, they have access to all of your accounts - 2FA protected it not. If you keep the keys in another app, they cannot access your accounts nearly as easily.
It's rather unlikely someone would get access to your vault if you use a physical authentication key like YubiKey. However, I take your point. I personally keep my 2FA, passwords, and backups in separate places.
The reason why I answered with Bitwarden as 2FA is because OP asked what was the Bitwarden of 2FA, so obviously OP didn't know Bitwarden itself had that feature.
Yes, I do this too and really like it.
