Description
Expected behavior
After copying a six-digit code from my authenticator app and going back to the WordPress app, I expect the "Verification code" field to be filled in automatically with that code.
Actual behavior
The field is not filled in automatically with the copied code after going back to the WordPress app.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Enter the login flow with an account that has two-factor authentication enabled.
- On the 2FA screen, notice the empty Verification code field.
- Open an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator) and copy a six-digit code from it.
- Open WordPress app again.
- Notice the Verification code field is still empty.
Tested on Pixel 3 XL, Android 9, WPAndroid 15.2-rc-1

Research direction
Start with the Android login flow and its 2FA screen, reproducing the reported behavior on Android 9 with WordPress app 15.2-rc-1. Done means that returning from an authenticator app after copying a six-digit code fills the Verification code field in the WordPress app.
