2FA/TOTP timer only shown when 1Password has focus

Hello @fstorch! 👋

Thank you for reaching out. As far as I'm aware, this is intentional so that 1Password doesn't use as many system resources updating the window every second when the app is in the background. Instead the timer continues to run and the window is updated with the new one-time password every 30 seconds.

I'll file a feature request to have the team look into whether it's possible to have the timer be shown when hovering over the TOTP field. Thanks for the suggestion!

As things stand, websites and apps will sometimes give you some extra time to enter the one-time password before it expires, even if you're over the 30 second mark. 🙂

Thanks for the reply, Dave.
Unfortunately the servers I deal with, are not equipped with that "sometimes" feature. 😞
Hope that others might find my suggestion useful as well.

I'm sorry that the websites that you're using don't provide you with a wider envelope to enter the one-time password. Thanks again for the request.

maybe it could be possible (and not so resource intensive) if the timer isn't shown in hover but the actual TOTP code could be colored red when the timer is below e.g. 10 seconds.

@fstorch

That's a neat idea. I'll pass that suggestion along to the team. 🙂
