Usage

Type 2fm to view the most recent two-factor authentication codes from iMessage messages.

Select a 2FA code and do one of the following:

• Press <enter> to copy it to your clipboard
• Press ⌘+<enter> (command + enter) to copy it to your clipboard and paste it into the active app window using simulated keystrokes
  • Some websites (e.g. Wells Fargo online banking) don't support pasting a 2FA code, so this will instead simulate typing the code
  • In order for this to work, you MUST grant Alfred automation access to System Events. If you haven't already done so, you will be prompted to grant access. See here for more information about Alfred automation.
• Press ⌥+<enter> (option + enter) to copy it to your clipboard and paste it into the active app window using the system paste (similar to pressing ⌘+V)
