Research direction

Start at the SMS 2FA code-entry UI and reproduce the autofill behavior on macOS. Trace how the six code fields receive input, then verify that a macOS SMS suggestion fills the complete code in one action without dismissing or deleting the message.

Description

bug

Describe the bug
When using SMS 2FA to authenticate an account, the window to enter the 6-digit code has 6 distinct text boxes, which breaks the autofill built into macOS when using 2FA codes.

To Reproduce

  1. Authenticate with SMS text message
  2. Receive a code
  3. In text box to enter the code, see an auto-suggestion from macOS to fill code
  4. Click the auto-suggestion
  5. The first digit is entered, but not the other 5, and the autofill form dismisses, and the text message is automatically deleted.
  6. Have to get a NEW code, then type it in one number at a time.

Expected behavior
If there were a SINGLE text box, instead of 6 individual ones, users could fill in the autofill SMS code with a single click.
