Receiving two-factor authentication codes through either a text message or an email is convenient. However, both your email and your text message are highly susceptible to being intercepted by hackers. If that happens, those bad actors can get your 2FA codes first, and then use those to break into your personal accounts. Thankfully, if you're an iPhone or iPad user, you now have an easy option to automatically delete those text messages and emails that contain your verification codes after you insert them using AutoFill.
Now let's walk through the steps to automatically delete 2FA codes after you use them on your iPhone or iPad.
Step 1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone. You'll land on the Settings menu.
Step 2. Scroll down this menu, and then tap "Passwords." The Passwords screen is shown.
Step 3. Tap "Password Options." The Password Options screen is displayed.
Step 4. Find the Verification Codes section, and then click to toggle on "Clean Up Automatically" in this section. Going forward, any 2FA verification codes you receive through the Messages or Mail apps and then insert using AutoFill will be automatically deleted after they are inserted using AutoFill.
