Auto-Fill 2FA at GitHub issue

Ask the Community Password Manager
1

I am using Bitwarden in Google Chrome.
I added my first 2FA key in Bitwarden (for GitHub).

When I log into GitHub, I click at the Bitwarden Icon in the toolbar and select the entry (I have only one login).
Bitwarden fills the username and the password and I click on the button “Sign in”.

At the next page I have to enter my 2FA code, but here nothing is filled.
So I click at the Bitwarden Icon in the toolbar and select the entry.
Bitwarden tells me that the fields can not be filled automatically.

When I click at the Bitwarden Icon in the toolbar there are only icons to copy the username and the password (there is no icon for copying the 2FA code to the clipboard).
So I have to open my vault, search for the entry manually and the copy the 2FA code.
This is not very comfortable.

Is this working better on other sites (so is this a problem with the GitHub page)?
Or is this the default behavior for all pages where I am using 2FA?

There should be an icon to open the full entry, to the left of the username and password icons, where you can copy the TOTP from.
It looks like this:

Also, by default, the TOTP is automatically copied to the clipboard when you use auto-fill.

Thank you @ShirokaiLon, I did not know that Bitwarden copies the 2FA code to the clipboard.
So the issue is solved (some topics have a lock icon, so maybe this topic can be locked too).
