Faktor – The missing 2FA code autocomplete for Chrome
Hi everyone, Kenneth here. As a loyal Chrome user, I was frustrated that one of Apple's most loved features from Safari and iOS wasn't available in Chrome. So, I built Faktor—a tool that grabs 2FA security codes from your iPhone and autofills them in Google Chrome on your Mac. Faktor is a native macOS app with a small Chrome extension, and once you install Faktor its easy to forget that this functionality isn't native to Chrome. Enjoy!

In plain words
Faktor is a macOS app with a Chrome extension that automatically fills two-factor authentication codes from an iPhone into Chrome on Mac. It brings a Safari and iOS feature that was previously unavailable in Chrome. The tool consists of a native macOS application paired with a lightweight browser extension, designed to work seamlessly once installed so users can authenticate without manually copying codes.

Faktor is a Mac app that keeps an eye out for new 2FA codes and gives you a great autocomplete experience in Google Chrome. Every day, we get 2FA codes sent to our phones, and we all know how annoying it is to switch between apps to get the code and then copy/paste it into the right place. Faktor solves this problem by giving you a great autocomplete experience in Google Chrome with the help of our macOS app that keep an eye out for new 2FA codes. As a Chrome lover (it runs X Pro way faster than Safari does) this will be helpful.

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
