Toot

Dear WebDevs,

If you are going to develop a website that requires OTP or some sort of external authentication mechanism, would you please - PLEASE - take the time and do the work to make the code entry box auto-selected? Like on mobil, if I need to copy a code from a text to paste it in, the "verify code" entry box should be the default field when I go back to the page after copying the code (if my password manager doesn't autofill it for some reason).

Is it that hard to make the code entry box the default and highlighted entry field? I honestly don't know because I'm not a front-end person, but as a user, it gets super-duper irritating if I have to take my hands off the keyboard and tap or click the entry box with the mouse and make it highlighted so that I can paste the code in there. This is especially irritating when I login on a laptop and have to get my OTP from a text message.

Just default enable the code entry field already!

Thank you.

Signed, a crotchety old and irritated 2FA user
