1Password dropdown masks macOS autofill for SMS verification codes
Many websites and services require verification with a code sent by text message. macOS has a nice feature that offers to auto-fill the code from the Messages app. Normally, it appears as a drop-do...
I found this old thread on a search. I have this problem both on the Mac and the iPad. 1P_Tommy’s solution from two years ago would kill off the very helpful feature entirely. I DO want to see these offers for Userid and Password fields, but I don’t want to see them for one-time codes from SMS or authenticator apps.
Any help?

I'm not sure I understand. The solution I provided would allow the 2FA code to be shown by macOS. It's what I personally use so I can see the code when it arrives. Can you perhaps elaborate on your needs. The setting change is for inside the 1Password for Safari extension. It would not apply to macOS.
Sorry for the confusion. Here’s the situation:
Im in Safari, with the cursor on a user id or password field. 1PW shows me a bubble near that field offering to fill it in. This is good.
To finish the login the website asks me to supply a one-time code sent to my phone, or from an app such as Google Authenticator. 1PW incorrectly offers to fill in the password, The bubble now often obscures the field where I’m supposed to type it.
I want 1PW to understand that these 2FA responses are not something it can or should offer to help with. However, I don’t want to lose the valuable functionality for user ids and passwords.
