Thanks for the additional information.
The extension can work as a standalone extension and it can also integrate with the desktop app and work with it. In either case it will function the same when it comes to copy-pasting.
I do see what you mean though - after you copy, if you click directly on the field you want to paste into, it will dismiss 1Password's window but will not focus inside the field - that will require another click. That behavior is more related to the browser and how it handles focus, but I can see how dismissing 1Password's window automatically will serve you here. However, that'll hurt other users' workflow especially when copying or dragging/dropping multiple items from 1Password's window.
Actually, you might find dragging and dropping the best solution to your situation as it might save you that extra click (and a bunch of keyboard shortcuts). Please try this:
- Get to the TOTP field in question.
- Click the 1Password extension icon to open its window.
- Instead of copying the TOTP field, grab it with your mouse and drag it from 1Password's window into the field on the website, then drop it there.
That should fill the TOTP in the field without you having to copy-paste anything, and no need to focus the field with your mouse as well!
Using drag and drop you can fill in any field, even ones that are not meant to be autofilled.
Does that help your situation?
