Description
Describe the bug
When using SMS 2FA to authenticate an account, the window to enter the 6-digit code has 6 distinct text boxes, which breaks the autofill built into macOS when using 2FA codes.
To Reproduce
- Authenticate with SMS text message
- Receive a code
- In text box to enter the code, see an auto-suggestion from macOS to fill code
- Click the auto-suggestion
- The first digit is entered, but not the other 5, and the autofill form dismisses, and the text message is automatically deleted.
- Have to get a NEW code, then type it in one number at a time.
Expected behavior
If there were a SINGLE text box, instead of 6 individual ones, users could fill in the autofill SMS code with a single click.

Version
- OS: macOS 26.2

Research direction
Start at the SMS 2FA code-entry UI and reproduce the autofill behavior on macOS. Trace how the six code fields receive input, then verify that a macOS SMS suggestion fills the complete code in one action without dismissing or deleting the message.
