Yeah, though honestly I feel a deeper browser - password manager integration would already make it much safer (also an HTML standard for TOTP inputs is long overdue, although browser extensions generally do a good job at detecting it).
I never copy/paste the TOTP manually myself, the browser extension does it for me and it’s set up to verify that the domain name matches the intended TOTP entry, so it won’t add it if the URL is not the expected one.
Is TOTP always phishable? Like the phisher says “tell me the code in your authenticator app”? But can’t say “tell me your passkey?”
This kind of explains to me why passkeys are so annoying – they are designed for if you’re always going to be using the same device all the time.
I wish password managers could hold passkeys reliably – they keep failing for me.
Phishing isn’t just over the phone. A phishing website that’s imitating say a bank website is just as easy to get the TOTP than it is the password.
