> Just to be clear, we are talking about clicking on a bookmark, letting the password manager fill in the login info, and the clicking login or pressing enter?

Close, you forgot the part where you need to locate your 2FA device, possibly connect it to a charger and wait for it to boot if needed, and then of course actually get the 2FA code and type it into the website.

edit: Oh, and I forgot the part where if you need to boot the device, you probably have to type in the password.

If I am using a previously used device, I do not get asked for 2FA on Schwab or Fidelity.

Also, macOS/iOS automatically fill in SMS 2FA which is nice.

Ah, that's nice, I hate sites that don't do that -- which includes the one I am currently forced to use. Hilariously, the mobile app allows using the fingerprint scanner instead of entering my password -- but still requires me to enter the 2FA code every time, which of course is on the same device, so it's not doing anything other than just wasting my time.

Don't use SMS 2FA, though.
