Question

Accounts where TOTP code should be appended (or prepended) to the password

This may be a bit of a corner case request, but here goes...

There are some websites (looking at Etrade.com!) where the 2FA TOTP code needs to be silently appended to the password in the same field. There is no visual indication to remind you that a 2FA code is required, and if you forget it just tells you you entered the password wrong[1].

Another example is the login page to opnsense (and maybe pfsense?) router/firewall software. You can enable 2FA on your router, but then have to remember to concatenate the TOTP code just like on etrade.

It would be nice if I could edit or otherwise flag that login item so 1Password knows to automatically concatenate the password and the 2FA code for me so I don't forget.

[1] Admittedly, there's a "use security code" checkbox that reveals a 2FA field, but if you've remembered to check that box, you've remembered you need a 2FA code, so that's not really the issue

Adding my voice to this. I need to switch between multiple VPNs (OpenVPN) throughout the day and each time requires this password+otp back and forth dance. I've been tracking this issue for a number of years but I must say @melorama mockup above looks like a usable solution and I imagine (as a fellow developer) "fairly" straightforward to build. Obviously this has to be weighed against other priorities but if you're looking for a nice user facing feature that will have a big quality of life improvement for a number of your customers then I'll vote for this!

+1 for my vote. My Cisco Anyconnect app requires me to enter the password concatenated with a comma followed by the 6 digit OTP so it would have the pattern "${PASSSWORD},${OTP}". I tried searching for a way to do this and I see people have been asking about it for years.

Until the 1PW devs add this functionality, here's https://gist.github.com/melmatsuoka/7c8bee12c64096d462db128633b7c3da.

I'm looking for this feature as well since we just switched over to using pin+TOTP for our VPN. I'll give the 1Password CLI trick from @melorama a go, but I hope the feature gets added to the app.

This mostly helpful only if you're on macOS, but I created a Keyboard Maestro macro that auto-concatenates the TOTP code with the password, for one-click generation of a valid OPNsense login password.
