1Password tries to fill the two factor field

After 1Password has filled the username and password field for my WP installation (or any other website where two factor is on), the field for the two factor authentication opens, asking for the six numbers from the Authenticator App, or from a message. It's a bit confusing that 1Password then acts again, giving suggestions to fill in.

Hi @LeonK!

It's a bit confusing that 1Password then acts again, giving suggestions to fill in.

Can you please clarify what you mean by this? Are you expecting 1Password not to offer to fill your 2FA code after the username and password?

Exactly. Maybe I am missing something, but why would 1Password offer to fill the 2FA code on my iMac, generated in the Google Authenticator on my iPhone? As far as I know that's not possible.

@LeonK:

Do you have a 2FA field inside this 1Password item?

Now I know for sure I'm missing something. I'll check https://support.1password.com/one-time-passwords/ now, Thanks.
