These channels are relatively insecure, and the messages can be spoofed relatively easily, so many other password managers have moved to more reliable 2FA methods. Secure password managers generally support 2FA through dedicated authenticator apps. Some go even further with other factors, such as security keys, offline codes, or biometrics.
