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.



Yeah 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.


Almost 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.


Firefox lockbox does. It’s still in beta afaik.


LastPass does.


I thought that was a keyboard thing not a Safari thing?


If you have iCloud SMS enabled, then it works on your Mac as well, not just on your phone


Does that work on macos?


Yes, it does. Assuming you have all the requisite stuff enabled.


I’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.


It's such a tiny thing but every time I use it I'm impressed.
