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?

Where this comes from is not about inconveniencing you. It's becase the site you are visiting doesn't want to store your password. It's called zero trust architecture and unfortunately the way it's setup they can't give you a code into your password manager becase it's not like 2fa it's a session specific not time specific. So they have to send you their code when you start the session.

This. It is inconvenient, but it does help with the issue that systems constantly get compromised and credentials stolen.

I wish companies would support more user friendly technology like ubikey or similar instead...

Hahaha dear l*rd. Switching back from Linux to Windows made my Yubikey such a pita. Instead of just tapping it to log in, I now need three clicks and type a four-character PIN that Windows forced upon me.

It's cause windows wants to take a picture of you to login for .... Reasons
