At some point, I noticed that the GitHub 2FA input field is implemented as a generic text field. THIS IS NOT A FUNCTIONAL PROBLEM by itself, but it may reduce compatibility with some password managers that support TOTP autofill based on the HTML field type or related form semantics.
Since GitHub has been expanding and enforcing 2FA adoption, improving this part of the login experience could make authentication more convenient for many users who rely on password managers with built-in TOTP support. In practice, this may be a relatively small frontend adjustment, but it could have a meaningful impact on usability and accessibility.
