Here's an example text message:

From: Chase
We'll NEVER call you to ask for this code.
One-Time Code:40502888
Only use this online. Code expires in 30 min.

didn't it had the feature to auto-read the latest 2fm messages on old macos ? im not sure anymore

Use OneUpdater for auto-updating

i sadly get this error now: "ERROR: Unable to Access your messages". any fix? i am on mac os ventura.

Examples:
您的优步验证码是 3133. 切勿分享此代码. (2FA Keyword: "验证码")

[PayPayCard]認証コードは次の通りです：2684
有効期限は10分です。(2FA Keyword: "コード")

ヤフー 確認コード:4377
このコードは他の人には絶対に教えないでください。
@login.yahoo.co.jp #4377 (2FA Keyword: "コード")

It would be nice to mark the selected message as read after copying it to the clipboard. Can be turned on or off with env. variable.

Hi, just installed workflow and got this error. Have I to set up permissions?

macOS 10.15.4 (19E287)
Alfred 4.0.9

Hi Scott- just making sure you saw my PR #19 about 3 digit codes. quick fix to find 3-digit codes e.g. Zocdoc

The following is the text of the message (where XXXXXXXX is 8 digits, no space and no space to the leading colon):

From: Chase Online Reminder: We'll never call you to ask for this code Enter online at prompt, expires in 30 min. One-Time Code:XXXXXXXX

os version: MacOS 10.15.7
Alfred version: 4.1
workflow version: 1.2.3

It seems difficult to figure out code with other language. For instance, the message content like this can't be detected, "您的验证码是 199035，10分钟内有效，请勿泄露" and "登录验证码：627823，您正在尝试【登录】，10分钟内有效" as well. However, the content like this can be detected correctly, "【赛验】验证码 54538".

I'm not sure it the language that makes detection difficult, or the location of the code in content make it wrong.

I've got Alfred 4.3 up and running (and otherwise working) on macOS 11.1.
When I try to use iMessage 2FA I get ERROR: Unable to Access Your Messages

This worked on macOS 10.15 with no issues but now it seems Alfred is not prompting the OS to add Alfred to the Automation section under Preferences...Privacy. I've tried to use the Request Permissions...Open macOS Automation preferences with no luck.

Is there something I can do to force Alfred to request the Automation permission to get this working (which I've come to love since WFH and Cisco with 2FA, etc)

The timezone is currently set to America/Denver and needs to be able to be set by the user.

It still pulls up in alfred, but it can no longer find the codes in imessage

In my Intel Macbook I was able to set it up and access my 2fa in my iMessage but I'm getting this error in my M1 Macbook:

See this forum post for an example of when it doesn't work: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/14365-find-2fatwo-factor-auth-codes-in-messages/?do=findComment&comment=73668

Amazingly useful workflow !! I didn't even know the iMessage db was just a simple sqlite that could be queried. Bravo for this.

One thing, I notice that it's pulling in 2FA codes from months ago in my chats.

It'd be useful to limit the search results to just the last XX minutes (10 min, 15 min, maybe 24h max?) since codes older than that are likely useless anyway.

I might look at the code later and see if I can make a PR for this.

Alfred version: Alfred 4.0.8. For whatever reasons, the workflow is not able to fetch the messages DB.

The file exists and permissions are ok

ls -lah ~/Library/Messages/chat.db
-rw-r--r--@ 1 sabhat  staff   2.0M Feb 24 18:49 /Users/sabhat/Library/Messages/chat.db

I can open with sqlite3

cd ~/Library/Messages/
sqlite3

.open chat.db

sqlite> .tables
_SqliteDatabaseProperties  kvtable

I used this excellent workflow for a bit but recently updated to Big Sur.
Since then, it stopped working. Maybe the location of the imessage database moved or something? :/

And yes, I have checked, Alfred still has automation access to System events.

Version Info

• OS: macOS 12.0 Beta (21A5248p)
• Alfred: 4.3.4 [1229]
• iMessage 2FA: 1.2.6

STR

• Open Alfred
• Begin typing the keyword for the iMessage 2FA workflow (mine is set to "2fa" but I've also tried the default "otp")
• When the workflow comes up press enter/return

Expected behavior

The list of available OTP codes from iMessage should be shown

Actual behavior

I'm only offered to search for my workflow activation keyword through established search providers

Additional info

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the workflow or with Alfred itself...

Hi, @squatto,

Thank you for doing all the work on this Alfred workflow! It's exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want to install php on my computer, though. So, I have been working on a simple bash based implementation. I have a very simple implementation, but functionally, it can be updated to be similar to this workflow. You can see the very rough first working version at https://github.com/thebitguru/alfred-imessage-2fa-copy

I would like to share it publicly and I am trying to decide how best to do that. Not sure how you would like to proceed. Any reason to switch this repo to use the bash version or should I publish it as a new workflow?

Thanks, again!

Would it be possible to mark the message as read when it gets copied? I get alerts on my phone and have badges in Messages if I don't manually view the message.

Just downloaded the workflow from Packal and tried to use with Bank of America and Cigna, but they aren't showing up in Alfred:

Here are the 2fa messages I received from them:

<#>BofA: Your code is XXXXXX. Don't share it; we won't call to ask for it. Call 800.933.6262 if you didn't request it.

Your Cigna authentication code is XXXXXX.

Example text:

Your Human Interest security code is 1381488

Not sure what happened now. It was working fine until recently

It launches fine with "2fm" - it finds the code - I select and press enter - Alfred notification says code was copied.

But when I go to paste - it's not there. Whatever was previously copied is pasted

Alfred 5.06
2fm ver 1.2.8
MacOS 13.1

They're sent as G-000000
