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.

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.
