Hi all,

having troubles with the 2FA verification codes in the password store.
I have created various 2FA verification codes and stored them in the built in password manager. all the codes are renewing and work when I copy&paste them.

But I have troubles with the autofill in safari. I am sure that it worked a week ago.

Here is what I see today:
amazon, google => works
PayPal => does not work, not on Mac, not on iPhone
qnap NAS Login => works on Mac with user 1, but not with user 2 on same mac

Safari always suggests to fill in the verification code. But hitting the button often brings up only 1, 2 or 3 digits of 6.

I already deleted and renewed the keychain item. No change.
Can anyone give advice?

Thanks

Was playing with the 2FA feature of Mac OS X Monterey - Just googling as I have exactly the same problem with my QNAP. When I set up the Auto 2FA feature, it worked. Now I'm getting only 3 digits instead of 6 everytime I'm using this... Has anyone found any solution, so far?

Interesting. With Mac OS Monterey 12.2 the problem seems to have mostly vanished. I still get the occasional 3-digit 2FA instead of 6 digits but in 99% of the cases it now works for me. Love this feature!
