> 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

Thanks for the heads up on this issue!

I pushed a fix for this here:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/43707>
>
> \*\*Previously\*\*
> 
> Password manager fill-and-submit could enter the one-time code f…low instead of submitting password credentials, and native email validation could reject username logins.
> 
> \*\*In this update\*\*
> 
> The password form uses one native submit path for clicks and Enter, accepts usernames without email validation, and keeps code login as an explicit action.

Could you update and have a look and let me know if you’re still facing this issue?
