#2928 Enhancements for TOTP and HOTP Management
1) Easier TOTP Code Copying:
When setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) using TOTP, most websites require entering a code to verify the configuration. However, manually typing the code from KeePass can be tedious.
If you close the window to use CTRL + T shortcut, it may trigger auto-save if enabled.
This becomes even more frustrating when configuring dozens or hundreds of entries.
Proposal: Add a "Copy" button next to the TOTP preview value, allowing users to copy the code with a single click.
2) Hiding the Shared Secret:
The shared secret is only needed once when setting up 2FA for an entry. After that, it should not be displayed in plain text for security reasons.
Proposal: Hide the shared secret by default (like a password, using asterisks) and provide a "Show" button to temporarily reveal it if necessary.
3) Applicability to HOTP:
I haven't used HOTP, but these improvements should also apply to its tab, as it functions similarly.
I use the TwoFactorQRCodeReader plug-in to add the oauth data - right click on an entry and select Read 2FA QR Code...
Then I right click on the entry and select Perform Auto-Type > {TIMETOPT}.
You need to enable "Show additional auto-type menu settings" in Tools > Options > Interface (1).
This doesn't get around the auto-save issue but I haven't had it fail on any sites I use, so it's a one off command.
