The 2FA app that notifies you when you get `012345`

An indie project for early 2010s internet addicts

The 2FA app that notifies you when you get `012345` launched on March 27, 2024 with 35 votes, #1,055 of 4,270 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

In plain words

The 2FA app that notifies you when you get `012345` is a two-factor authentication tool designed for users who want alerts about specific numeric codes.

The app is built for people interested in unique code patterns and serves as both a functional authenticator and a novelty tool for those who enjoy finding interesting number combinations in their daily authentication process.
