Question about 2FA
Darcorn
Hello everyone!
After much deliberation I've finally decided to switch from Lastpass to 1Password. I must admit I'm feeling slightly intimidated by this change. In my earlier post I've written about the inability to transfer TOTP codes from LP to 1P but I've decided to do it differently by keeping LP's authenticator app long enough to disable 2FA on one app and re-enable it on another.
As I understand 1P will automatically fill one time codes from the authenticator once I enable it. The problem is that there are sites on which auto-fill doesn't work (or at least it doesn't with LP). What to do when I encounter such a site with LP?
Thanks in advance for all the support you can give me :)

You can always copy the current otp to the clipboard and paste it into some input field. If you're using the desktop app, you can even drag the otp field to the input field and it will be pasted without clipboard. It's just a field available for reading/copying/pasting as any other field, just with its content changing every 30 seconds. You're not copying the secret key behind the field, you're copying the generated otp.
Thank you for the answer.
Hey @Darcorn ,
As I wrote here, copying the secret or the otpauth path from an entry in LastPass into an entry from 1Password should work. 😊
