Yahoo Mail / Chrome / 1PWD OTP Issue

Hi,

Curious if anyone knows why setting up a one-time-password w/in a Yahoo account entry in 1PWD doesn't "stick." In particular, the username/pwd/code autofill sequence will log one in, but each time one does so, Yahoo demands a new recovery code be generated to ensure safe access to the yahoo account in an emergency. This is very cumbersome. On the other hand, when I enter the same code manually, rather than using autofill, all's hunky dory. I have seen the same behavior when trying to access Yahoo via Chrome on macOs and Windows.

What gives?

Thanks!

Please try disabling auto submit and see if your experience improves.

 1. Right-click 1Password in the browser toolbar.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Autofill & save.
4. Turn off auto-submit - "Sign in automatically after autofill 1Password will automatically submit forms after filling logins."
