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?

I'm fighting with my bank on the 2fa issue right now. They demand we use sms and turn notifications for the bank on in our phones..like no, I won't grant you this access to my phone. I refuse solicitations in any form

Also SMS is extremely insecure, and relatively easy to spoof/steal.

I have 'passwords' should anyone try to request sim swapping, like you can't port my number without authorization, apparently. But I'm still skeptical. I doubt anything would ever happen but I'd rather be safe then sorry.

There are more sinister ways to do this then sim swapping.

There is too little control over nodes in modern cell networks.
