Super convenient! Chrome 93 tests sending OTP verification codes directly from phone to computer
In mobile systems (certainly on iOS), there has been a convenient function that can automatically copy and fill in the verification code content in the received text message into the page field. Although to put it bluntly, this function is just a simple copy and paste, even friends with better memories can immediately take shorthand and enter it by themselves without any problem. However, once you get used to it, when you encounter a message that it is not supported, you will actually feel a little overwhelmed in an instant (eh). It is really (too lazy) to give people a feeling that you can’t go back.

Now, Google has early access to“Very Android 12” Super beautiful interfaceIn the Chrome 93 beta version, a function has been added to facilitate users to quickly and simultaneously fill in the verification code in the OTP SMS. According to testing by foreign media Android Police, this new OTP cross-device transfer verification code function will allow users of the Chrome computer version to directly copy the verification code to the browser on the desktop system after receiving the OTP SMS on the Android phone.
The whole concept is “It just works”. (If you want to test it, you canUse this link to send text messages to yourself for fun）
That is to say, such a function obviously requires the format and specifications of the messaging service to be correct. On the other hand, Chrome must also support access to text messages on mobile systems. Because of this, it feels like support for iOS has yet to be confirmed? This Chrome 93 beta version not only has the new feature of OTP transfer. There are also several new features for multi-screen support and PWA web functionality. The interface has a “Material You style” feel. I’m really looking forward to the next Chrome update!
