You might have 4-20 different accounts that require you to do that. ADP (payroll) does it, so does my bank. And they're at different intervals so I have to change one of them, and then 20 days later I have to change the other one.

How do you do that with keypass, that lets you never have to remember your password?
It's still some manual work, but a lot easier. 2FA is annoying, but I want it to be as simple as possible.

Open website with KeePass - double click on URL
Select user id field with mouse
Right click entry in KeePass and select "perform auto-type" (logs you in)
Verify 2FA code sent to you
(if necessary...) Right click KeePass entry and send current password
Double click entry in KeePass. Click icon to generate new random password. Send to website.
Save database (with new password for your site.
