One-Time (OTP/MFA/2FA) auto fill
Hi,
In earlier versions of 1Password the One-Time Password was sent to clipboard, so we could paste it on proprer field.
In newer versions 1Password auto-fill it. Some times it's very good, but...

1Password TeamHi @MarioCelsoJr thanks for reaching out!
Although there's no way to disable OTP auto-fill specifically, you should be able to copy your OTP from the browser extension or desktop app by clicking on the "one-time-password" field. It should look like this:
You mentioned that sometimes the one-time passwords aren't filled properly. Could you share some of the websites you ran into trouble with so I can do some testing on my end?
I'd also be happy to submit a feature request on your behalf to give users the option to have their one-time passwords copied to their clipboards automatically. Would you like to add any feedback as to how having this feature would benefit you or how the lack of it is impacting your workflow?
I look forward to hearing from you.
I got hit with this today at https://voip.ms/signin/index.php. The TOTP auto fill pasted everything into the first input and not the other 5, causing login to fail. Somehow I did this 3 times and now I am locked out for 24 hours! I am not sure how it it's failing to work, as the input attributes look like they have the correct settings to limit the input to one character. Normal pasting (Ctrl-V) in the first input works correctly.
