Browser: Add "Copy TOTP" to context menu

Created on 29 Apr 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: bitwarden/browser

There are a lot of GitHub issues and forum feature requests surrounding TOTP auto-copying, auto-filling, and having shortcut buttons in the extension. Unfortunately they seem all over the place and with a lot of only-tangentially-related stuff thrown in.

The reason this is a bug is this old issue: #136 . The current workaround for Firefox in Private mode is to auto-fill user/pass via the context menu. However that process breaks down on sites that have 2FA enabled as there is no way to get it without opening a non-private window, or using another device.

You could still Ctrl+Shift+L, that autofills your credentials and then copies your TOTP to the clipboard.
Maybe the context menu filling also copies the TOTP to the clipboard, I don't know as I never use it.

@Crocmagnon

That feature is buggy and does not work in my browser.

@Crocmagnon Thanks for the suggestion! I did not know that keyboard shortcut, it works for me!
The context menu filling does indeed copy the TOTP to the clipboard :)

I'm afraid they do not want to add a TOTP quick copy icon in the browser plugin : https://github.com/bitwarden/browser/pull/968

I hope they'll change their mind later and add it (it's the only feature missing from my pov)

Shouldn't this be closed since copying TOTP is now possible from the context menu?

@RoiArthurB The issue you mention has nothing to do with this one, as I clearly stated in the original message.

@olavinto You're absolutely correct! No idea when that made it into the code base, but it's there now, at least on Firefox. Closing.
