TOTP auto-fill?

Is the TOTP feature supposed to auto-fill in a web form? I can't work out how to make it happen, I'm not quite sure whether that's because it's not possible yet, or if I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks

  • Hi @matt9,

    Auto-filling the one-time password in the browser is not currently supported. It's certainly something we'd like to see in the future, but I don't have a timeframe for when that could happen.

    In that case, please consider this a feature request :)

    We're finding TOTP very useful in any case, thanks for adding it.

    Hi @matt9,

    Please consider your feature request considered and requested! ;)

    Actually, we have an open request for this already, and I've added your feedback. I can't make any promises of course, but I agree this would be a very handy feature, so hopefully we'll be able to include it in the future. Thanks so much for letting us know you're interested in that, I'm happy you're enjoying the TOTP feature!

    Here I was all excited for TOTP in the Mac version, only to discover it didn't auto fill.
    It's a step in the right direction though and nice work on the release.
    Really looking forward to the autofill in a future release :)

    +1 from me

    The fact that it doesn't fill this even on major sites like Google is frustrating and throws off my groove. I mean, I understand it's not at the top of the list, but I cannot imagine this taking more than a couple person-hours to add unless 1password Brain is really gnarly.

    I have a sneaking suspicion AgileBits don't want to add TOPT auto fill (as much as people want it), because it defeats the purpose of having 2FA.

    It's certainly an interesting theory, @PSiAU. However, if that were true, we would state it plainly. But we are neither disinclined to offer it, nor does it defeat the purpose of multi-factor authentication. Well, automatically filling one-time passwords doesn't defeat the purpose any more than storing the TOTP codes in 1Password.

    But we've written elsewhere about how using 1Password to store TOTP codes does indeed preclude the second factor-ness:

    Indeed, when you store your TOTP secret in the same place that you keep your password for a site, you do not have second factor security.

    However, you still get all the benefits that come from the one-timeness.

    Complete details are in our blog post:

    https://blog.agilebits.com/2015/01/26/totp-for-1password-users/

    But I suspect that anyone putting in a feature request for automatic filling of one-time passwords has already decided to store them in 1Password, so they've already moved past that discussion. :)
