I'm not sure why this happens: I just added several 2fa methods to me 1pw.com, (authenticator, and a few UFA hardware keys), that all seems fine but now when i enter the password into my 1pw browser extension in Brave another tab opens and takes me to 1pw.com. I'd rather not have this happen every time that i type my password into the extension, is there a setting i can adjust?

also i don't really understand why i need to have an authenticator and a UFA key set up, is there a way to remove the need for a OTP and just use my hardware keys instead?
any wisdom is welcome!

    Hi @silas!

    If you are trying to login to the 1Password extension, I think at the moment it is required to complete the authentication in a separate browser tab, I am not aware of a way to make this happen directly within the extension window. However, I think this is something that would be very nice to have, so perhaps we can consider it for the future :+1:

    also i don't really understand why i need to have an authenticator and a UFA key set up, is there a way to remove the need for a OTP and just use my hardware keys instead?

    This is because not every 1Password app supports hardware keys, so the TOTP will be required until that's the case. Otherwise, you would risk getting locked out or not being able to configure 1Password on these devices until they receive support for hardware keys.
