I’m in the process of switching from Authy and noticed that tap to copy of a code in Bitwarden Authenticator keeps it on the iPhone and doesn’t send the copied code into the macOS handoff/continuity universal clipboard (unsure what the exact terminology is for this).
I confirmed that any other copy and paste from my iPhone to my Mac indeed works, but trying to copy from Bitwarden Authenticator on iOS to macOS does not work.
I know the roadmap eventually will have syncing across devices (and the iPad app could run on Apple Sillicon Macs), but this really hampers ease of use for the time being. Thank you.

I have the same issue and would love a fix. Manually having to write codes seems awfully old school.

I am also having this issue as well. Would love a fix regarding this as it makes my experience using this app much less convenient.

Just for the record:
There seems to be a bug report on GitHub to this:
opened 10:14AM - 01 Jun 24 UTC
bug
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Set up Universal Clipboard to copy/paste content betw… een Apple devices (iOS and macOS).
2. Open the Bitwarden authenticator app on an iOS device and copy a verification code.
3. Attempt to paste the copied verification code into a form field in a browser on a macOS laptop.
### Expected Result
The verification code copied from the Bitwarden authenticator app on the iOS device should be pasted into the form field in the browser on the macOS laptop.
### Actual Result
The verification code is not copied to the Universal Clipboard and cannot be pasted into the form field on the macOS laptop, requiring manual entry of the code.
### Screenshots or Videos
_No response_
### Additional Context
- The Universal Clipboard is set up correctly and functions as expected with other applications, including different authenticator apps.
- The issue is specific to the Bitwarden authenticator app.
### Build Version
2023.5.0 (38)
### Environment Details
- iPhone 15 Pro
- 17.5.1
### Issue Tracking Info
- [X] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
And there’s also a feature request to this:
Currently cannot copy a code from an iPhone to Mac computer using Universal Clipboard like I can with the other authenticator apps I have used. So users would have to manually type in codes. Don’t think many Apple ecosystem users will want to switch authenticators to this one without that feature—I know I won’t.
