iOS 12 makes 2-factor identification via SMS much simpler!

For more and more
online services, banking in particular, two-factor identification is
bet. This involves having to enter, in addition to your usual password, a
temporary code generally received on your smartphone. The interest is obvious,
with the impossibility for a hacker to be able to connect to the account in
question by retrieving the user's password. The other side of the coin,
this can sometimes be tedious to do, with the code having to be memorized once
the SMS received, then enter the box on the website in question. But
Apple plans to simplify the task for users by offering, in iOS
12, a temporary code automatic filling function, function which
was not seen during yesterday's presentation of WWDC 2018,

summarized here:

In fact, when the user, on their iPhone or iPad, wants to
connect to a website operating on double authentication, in
Safari under iOS 12, the code received in the SMS will be
automaticallypasted in the corresponding box, on the
login web page.

We can see in the screenshots below a small title “From Messages”
present above the keyboard, integrating the temporary code received by message
exactly.

This code is entered higher on the web page without any action of
the user.

This should make life easier for those who connect
regularly to site web accounts requiring double authentication,
an identification technique that is increasingly widespread on the internet.

What do you think of this iOS 12 feature?
