Teleport – Instant SMS 2FA

macOS Supported Version Version

Teleport is a macOS utility that monitors incoming texts and automatically copies any authentication codes it finds to your clipboard.

Note SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA)is no longer considered to be a secure option for two-factor authentication, and should only be used when there are no other 2FA options available. Whenever possible, it’s best to use time-based one-time password (TOTP) options such as those provided by 1Password or Google Authenticator.

Contributions

Contributions are very welcome! I am by no means a developer and started Teleport as a way to learn some Swift, any recommendations around features and best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to shoot me a message on LinkedIn or in the Mac Admins Slack.
