How to get 1Password 8 and proper extension to enter 2FA code received via text

Hello @Gramps4! 👋

You can use 1Password as your authenticator app for websites and accounts that use the TOTP standard. You can read more here: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication

To save and fill your one-time passcodes make sure that you've installed 1Password in the browser: Get started with 1Password in your browser

1Password doesn't support SMS-based two-factor authentication and, if possible, I recommend that you switch over to using an authenticator app if you have any accounts that are using text messages to send one-time passcodes.

I hope that helps. 🙂

Thanks for that reply. Why does my 2020 Intel Mac mini running the same software fill in 2FA codes from text messages? Both of my computers are running the same OS and 1Password software.

@Gramps4

Thank you for the reply. Safari on macOS has the ability to fill 2FA codes from text messages and it sounds like you're referring to that feature. This would be handled entirely by Safari itself and 1Password isn't involved. This support article from Apple might help you troubleshoot why the feature isn't working on your M1 Mac:

Another reason why it might not be working on the M1 Mac would be if you're using a browser other than Safari. I hope that helps. 🙂

Got it. Thanks

@Gramps4

It's my pleasure. 😊
