Is there any way to have Apples Password Manager NOT require a 2FA every.single.time. I open my laptop?

Its to the point I have to enter that 2fa that pops up. Whats frustrating is Im entering from the SAME laptop its asking for. Just fill it in!

I find myself doing this 30 times in a day.

Not normal. In fact I don’t recall EVER having to use a 2FA code in Passwords.app.

What macOS version are you on? What type of VPN/security software?

I mean when i open Chrome, it makes me re-verify myself by sending me a pop up. that's what I mean by 2fa.

No idea about Chrome, I don’t use it.

This sounds like "a Chrome issue", not an issue with Apple's new Passwords app.

This is expected behavior for third-party browsers. When you use the 'iCloud Passwords' browser extension, you need to enter a six-digit verification code to unlock the extension (it's not a 2FA code). When you quit Chrome, the extension is locked and you'll need to unlock it with another verification code the next time you use it. The only workaround is to just leave Chrome running so that it remains unlocked (or switch to Safari).

Id use Safari but everytime I swipe to go back on a page, it reloads the entire page. If i Command+left arrow, it behaves how I want and doesn't just reload pages.

I'm confused why the 3rd party browser can't be "saved as trusted source" and set a timer for inactivity. The number of times I close browsers entirely in a day is rather high. Or why Apple, can't just auto-fill. If you told me the code would be going to my phone, sure. But the code loads on the same screen I'm attempting to unlock. i have a feeling this is Apple way of making it just that tad bit annoying to use and get you to switch.

This is actually the same behavior in most Linux instances, too. When you sign into the OS, you then have to unlock the Password Manager.
