Need to execute twice in order to copy password, TOTP to clipboard

[griffinsteffy19]

This has been occurring in the last 2 months where I go through the keystrokes to copy a password or TOTP to the clipboard and it doesn't actually get the information unless I execute it twice in a row.

Here is a video of it happening:

• Potentially I am trying to use the result to quickly and the script hasn't had time to execute and pull the password before I am trying to paste it.
• I am using a self hosted vault-warden

I have the same issue. It has been present since I started using the extension.

I always have to run the search process twice to successfully copy the password to the clipboard.

I don't know if it's relevant, but I notice that when I bring up the Alfred search window and run my search query, eg. bw some-website-login, holding the alt key displays a prompt in the Alfred search box that I can copy the username. However, holding the tab key displays no such prompt for copying the password.

You don't need to copy it twice, it just takes 3 seconds.. If you count to 3 before pasting it works (Annoying). I guess something really slows it down before it is send to clipboard.

@griffinsteffy19 maybe check if this is the case for you too and adjust your issue.

It's slow because underneath it's using the Bitwarden cli (again) to decrypt/get the secrets.

Thats what I thought.

I see two solutions for solving atleast part of the frustration:

1. lock the UI until TOTP is done copying by
   a. waiting on bw cli until it is done copying or
   b. implementing a timer that counts down to the average time that it takes to decrypt and load a TOTP to clipboard
2. show beside 'Copy TOTP' in the UI (when you press control on a item) that it takes +/- 5 seconds to be loaded in to clipboard. for ex.:
   Copy TOTP (Takes +/- 5s to load)
