No more switching apps to copy a 6-digit code.

Get a macOS notification showing the code when it arrives. Also shown in the menu bar.

🛡

Recognizes codes from Google, Uber, banks, and most 2FA formats automatically.

Setup

Download and unzip TwoFactorHelper.zip
Move TwoFactorHelper.app to your Applications folder
Important: Right-click the app and choose Open the first time (macOS blocks unsigned apps). If you see "damaged" warning, open Terminal and run: xattr -cr /Applications/TwoFactorHelper.app
Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access and add TwoFactorHelper
Launch the app — look for the shield icon in your menu bar
That's it! First launch may take a moment to install dependencies. Next time you get a 2FA text, the code auto-copies to your clipboard
