Randomly, some websites seem to have a lot of fun breaking password managers. One inconvenience is sites now often asking for user name and password separately.

Another inconvenience is sites that use six-digit emailed codes instead of passwords. Which is just massively inconvenient because not only do I need to have an email program at the computer I am at, I also need to switch back and forth and copy-paste stuff.

Is there any password manager that works with those? Is there a way to get these codes working with Bitwarden even?

    In theory, it’s not impossible to have IMAP in a browser add-on. So why is there not some kind add-on to suss out the codes from these mails and make them pasteable…? This could include integration with throwaway mail accounts too, so I wouldn’t get this PIN code spam in my main mail account.

      Yeah that’s a good idea right now I used a catch all on my domain for those logins so it’s already separated out. I don’t knowing how I feel about getting my mail account to bitwarden if I didn’t do that. The other issue you run into is there no standard for those email messages. So the plugin would need to process the message to find the code.
