How to use 2FAS Browser Extension

In this short tutorial, we'll show you how to set up and use 2FAS Browser Extension.

It's still labeled as "native browser notifications" but it's actually "native operating system notifications"... I absolutely *_despise_* the Windows notification system, so I'm glad you have the extension custom notification option.

This app is really great for 2FA, I'm loving it.

Keep maintaining the quality team!

Perfect! Exactly what I've been wanting to help make online life a little simpler. Thanks for the clear explanation.

Damn, that's such a nice idea with browser extension. I already left a 5* review on play store, been using it for 15 minutes only and I already felt in love! Good job and thank you! <3

Love this! Was just wondering if there was a browser extension, and here I am now! Ty!

[chefsnow]

Been usin this authenticator for years, and it's certainly the best one

Brilliant; I came to the 2FAS site to request this kind of feature, only to find you'd already created it! :D

Are you planning on a Windows desktop version? Would prefer that over a browser extension. Great app though!

Hi amazing app I’ve been using it for a while! 2 questions, is it possible to approve the autofill on Apple Watch? And what do you do with multiple accounts to one website? When we tap approve can’t we just select which account we are logging into? I’ve had it where it auto fills with a different account so I have to manually find it in the app and type it in myself.

Amazing feature!! Absolute love for this work!!

I love the app, but I struggle to see the use case for the browser extension. The process flow for the browser extension includes unlocking the phone and clicking approve. So.. the only difference is, I just click approve on the app instead of entering 6 numbers into the website? Am I missing something here?

Hi, I wanted to use this on my browser so as not to use my phone - eg if i loose it or if someone else is authorised to get into my said account and they need to have the 2FAS code also - any suggestions?

[navin_thomas]

@2FAS Do you have any blog or article in which you explain why you went for this approach? I mean, why you decided that the browser extensions must be paired with the mobile app, instead of working standalone like, for example, the Bitwarden browser extensions.

Have you discontinued support for iOS 15? I am unable to update the 2FAS app on my iPhone because it indicates a requirement for iOS 16.4 or later.

[vlogtwists]

Am I being daft? I've installed the 2FAS extension in order to quickly input 2FAS to websites that require it, meaning I do not need to unlock my phone, go into the app and get a code. I can just use the extension.

The issue is, the extension simply asks you to go to your phone to approve it.

Well what's the point? I might as well just use my phone in the first place. Unless I'm doing this incorrectly, this seems like a daft idea.

So this is not like Authy desktop app? It doesnt take the tokens but instead asks for them to be sent from a different mobile device so in case a mobile phone dies what can you do? Also are there any plans regarding a 2FAS linux desktop app like appimage or flatpak?

[prvus.studios]

This app looks promising, especially if a desktop app is in the pipeline. One thing though, the iOS app requires to have iOS 16.4 installed (from 2023) but my ipad will be on iOS 15 until it dies. Is there a way to work around this or I won't able to use 2FAS?

[odyshape]

How is this any different from Authy? Every time I click on 2FAS logo on my browser it sends me to accept on my phone. I want to just click and have it fill in the code automatically.
