iOS 26 beta introduces code autofill feature across third-party apps, simplifying the process.
Testers noticed new code autofill prompt for verification codes from Gmail and WhatsApp in the beta released on June 17.
Previously, iOS supported code autofill only for Apple's Messages and Mail, but now it works with any app providing codes.
Code autofill enhances login speed and smoothness, addressing developer requests and regulatory demands for cross-platform compatibility.
Convenience and improved security underpin the adoption of two-factor authentication with code autofill.
Users can control code autofill settings in the device's Password Options, including toggling, deleting after use, and selecting apps giving codes.
Apple plans to extend code autofill to non-Apple apps on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and third-party browsers in macOS Tahoe, aiming for seamless verification across platforms.
The feature is expected to be available in a public beta by July and officially launch with iOS 26 in September.
