Easier account signup using email codes

When I try using this new “enable_local_logins_via_code” it is awkward, in that if I use a password manager, in my case, Roboform, which normally enters both the stored username and password simultaneously and then proceeds directly into the site, Roboform now shows 2 Roboform entries one for, in my case, the username (not email as I login with username) and a second for the password

however, in this case instead of filling both the password and username simultaneously, the code immediately proceeds to this screen instead:

Then I need to manually enter my email address. Will the stable version handle this more elegantly? If I use Roboform at that prompt, it of course inserts the username and I get this error:

One potential option is to tell all users to update any password manager logins to email, not username, but this seems obtrusive not to mention it exhibits the same initial behavior, as it goes to the second screen and requires me to do a second step, EVEN if I have changed Roboform, as a test, from username to email:

Anyway, it is just awkward now. I NEVER even click the link “Email me a one-time login code” it just immediately goes to the 2nd prompt.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the 6-digit code option, as will my members, just I would like it to be more graceful than it currently is with a password manager like Roboform.
