Safari's autosuggest of the numeric code from 2FA text messages is outstanding. I don't hear anyone talk about this feature, but I could never live without it. I use 2FA for every website possible and this makes it easy.
- throwawaymath 8y agoYeah that feature (along with iOS 12 native OS-level password manager integrations) was a major leap forward. I no longer dread enabling 2FA on websites when push/HOTP tokens aren’t supported - at least from a usability perspective. The security of SMS-based 2FA is still poor, though generally better than nothing.
- dclusin 8y agoAlmost nobody implements the API for password managers. It's either apples password store or bust. I use 1password and frequently have to switch to the app to grab a password. Although, with face ID enabled this is relatively painless.
- lorenzhs 8y agoFirefox lockbox does. It’s still in beta afaik.
- village-idiot 8y agoLastPass does.
- mgsk 8y agoDoes that work on macos?
- LonelyContext 8y agoYes, it does. Assuming you have all the requisite stuff enabled.
- morpheuskafka 8y agoI thought that was a keyboard thing not a Safari thing?
- kalleboo 8y agoIf you have iCloud SMS enabled, then it works on your Mac as well, not just on your phone
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoIt's such a tiny thing but every time I use it I'm impressed.
- village-idiot 8y agoI’ve never had to use it because I use hardware/software 2FA, but while developing an app recently it worked in a native app. I was stunned and thrilled.
