TOTP password moves places wrongly

For example, when you add a new login, just fill user & password , but not 2FA totp, instead, in that item you create a separate section, where you want to add one-time (2FA) code:

when you click that, the field jumps up into top graph, under main user & pw section.

this is an obvious bug. however because of my previous experience of 1P support being dedicatedly ignorant to the obvious bugs and never fixing the simple bugs for years, I have to explain why this is a bug:
-at first, it contradicts the application itself - if you give us an ability to add multiple same-type fields inside one page, then we need to have an ability to organize them. otherwise, just give us an ability to only have one "topt" code per item. if you give us many - give us an ability to sort them as we like.
- even if you have added 2 totp codes: one under main user&pw graph and one under "my section", if you delete the first totp-item (which is under main user&pw graph) than that second totp code jumps out from "my section" and moves automatically under main user&pw graph. example: you want to delete "Jimy" and then the "Hana" jumps from its section and is placed in place of "Jimy" !!!

what more should I say about this obvious misfunctionality, which has been there for years? just fix this bug or give us an option in setting to stop this "auto-movement" feature

Hi @ttod, thanks for reaching out to provide that feedback!

It's currently expected that if there's a single one-time password saved in the item it will be set as the default one-time password field for the item as this will be the one-time password that is autofilled. If there are additional one-time passwords added to the item, you can rearrange them while in Editing mode. These additional one-time passwords can also be copied and pasted when needed.

With that said, I can understand your point and the desire for more control over how fields are organized within your items. I've submitted a feature request to our Product team so that they can consider adding the ability to keep added one-time password fields within the section you desire.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!

It's currently expected

and it's a total bug. there are websites where there are multiple different TOPT codes (i.e. where you use one TOTP for login, and another to other functionality on same site).
or even you could have one item saved where you just want to have different totps too. absolutely odd that it moves itself - can't a person just grab the line and move it up/down? yes they can. but you still enforce the functionality. so, add the option to avoid that enforcement.

or that another example - deleting the primary one-time-pass field (under main user &pw) which causes other one-time-pass field to move upward automatically and replace it, is absolutely unjustified
