Request: show 2fa above the keyboard, like usernames and passwords

When filling passwords in safari on iOS, 1Password populates the space above the iOS keyboard with the username or password, as appropriate, which makes filling those fields incredibly convenient (even more convenient than the extension-based dropdown menu). However, when it comes to the 2fa code, 1Password does not show a code above the keyboard; it only shows the extension-based dropdown.

It would be incredibly convenient if 1Password would show 2fa codes above the keyboard as well. Is this something iOS supports for third-party apps? If it is, could 1Password implement this?

1Password Version: 8.10.8
Extension Version: iOS
OS Version: iOS 16.5.1
Browser: iOS safari

    Hello @wendy_appleseed! 👋

    Thank you for the suggestion. You can have 1Password automatically copy your one-time password for a website or app to the clipboard so that you can paste it into the app when filling your login information:

    1. Open and unlock 1Password 8.
    2. Tap the icon for your account or collection at the top left and choose Settings.
    3. Tap AutoFill.
    4. Turn on "Copy One-Time Passwords".
    5. Go back to Settings.
    6. Tap Notifications.
    7. Turn on "One-Time Passwords".

    Then fill a username/password into the app again. You should see a notification that 1Password has copied the one-time password to your clipboard. You can then paste the one-time password into the app: Select, cut, copy, and paste text on iPhone - Apple Support (CA)

    In addition to this, our extension for Safari does have the ability to fill one-time passwords: Get to know 1Password for Safari on your iPhone or iPad

    I hope that helps! 🙂
