2fa is much safer than the alternative.
Most secure would be a paper wallet, but 2fa is a pretty good alternative imo.
I wouldn't store large amounts on any exchange for an extended period of time though.

I have been using two-factor authentication too and I'm also wondering if its safe. Too many scary stories out there right now.

So I use two-factor authentication on every bitcoin site where I have bitcoin stored. I also use password generators like this: http://www.random.org/passwords/
Should I still be worried? Are there any known incidents of people's accounts still being compromised? Anything else I could do to protect myself?

Depends on the two-factor authentication type. If email, it is not enought.
I'm using Google Authenticator. I also printed out the QR codes used to register at each site in case I lose my phone.

For small amount sounds good.
In case you have big amount, think about a paper wallet.
It's most safe.
