What about iPads when the secure code comes through to your iPhone?
Brenda: Do you mean an SMS message that comes to your iPhone but not your iPad? Then there's no way for your iPad to know about the code. But if you turn on Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone (Settings, Messages) then you can get your SMS messages on both your iPhone and iPad and it will work. Same for Macs.
Gary, do we need to do anything to enable SC Autofill? I can't find it listed in System Preferences...
Dennis: No, there is no setting for it. Though I assume if you turn off Autofill in Safari that you won't get it, but maybe not.
What if you don't use Safari? I much prefer Firefox and seldom have to use Safari. Does this SC Autofill work with all browsers? It seems hit-or-miss to me... in fact, I see it less often now.
MacRumors site says this: "If you've enabled Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone, you can use the Secure Code AutoFill feature in macOS Mojave, too. The code should appear in Safari as an AutoFill option in the relevant field as soon as the SMS is delivered to Messages on your Mac." It's still not clear to me where this will work with other browsers.
Mac: Why not just try it? I did and it didn't come up for me in Firefox.
Gary, this isn’t happening for me. I have the new IPad Pro, couldn’t Find a place anywhere in settings or iCloud to turn on two factor Auth, although it is automatic on Apple sites I believe. Anyway, secure auto fill isn’t happening. I have the latest updates and have IOS 12.1.1
Jane: If you aren't using two-factor, then it won't work. You turn it on under System Preferences, iCloud, Account Details, Security.
