2FA codes from your phone. Done right.

Reviews & testimonials

Don’t take it from us, hear it from our users.

Purchased, one of those QoL things that would add up over time. My use case, I try to keep my phone away from work table and the annoyance (and distraction) to bring the phone for 2FA is worth solving at the cost of roughly 2 coffees! (10 bucks)

Frequently asked questions

How does it work?

Faktor works by listening for new 2FA codes on your Mac by hooking into iMessage. When it detects a new code, it sends it to Google Chrome via our Chrome extension. When you are on a website that requires a 2FA code, Faktor will autocomplete the code for you.

Why is Faktor free?

I got tired of copy pasting 2FA codes, so I built this solution, that should have been built by Apple.

What permissions does Faktor need?

Faktor needs full disk access to your Mac's library folder, where the iMessages are stored, and permission to send notifications.

Does Faktor send my text messages to servers/services?

No. Faktor does not send your text messages or data to servers or external services. Everything runs locally.

What platforms do you support?

Faktor works with iOS devices and macOS 13 and up.

Which browsers does Faktor work with?

Faktor works with Google Chrome, Arc, and Brave. Other Chromium-based browsers might also work, but we have not validated this.

How do I get support?

Faktor is provided free of charge with no support, as I simply don't have the time provide customer support.

Forget about 2FA codes. Use Faktor.
