It wasn&rsquo;t a PM, it wasn&rsquo;t just one person, and it wasn&rsquo;t what we set out to do initially.<\/p>\n<p>It started as a small side idea we had while designing something very different. We jotted it down, tabled it for weeks, and then picked it up after the &ldquo;more ambitious&rdquo; project wasn&rsquo;t panning out. It was hard, but I&rsquo;m so glad we changed focus.<\/p>\n<p>Even with a gem of an idea, it was still just an idea. Ideas are obviously super important &mdash; they&rsquo;re necessary, but not sufficient. Here, the end result came from the idea, teamwork, and execution.<\/p>\n<p>Years later, I&rsquo;m still so proud of the team for making this feature happen. The team combined expertise from several areas to ship magic that worked on day 1, while asking nothing of app and website developers, without giving anyone your text messages. This still inspires me!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>This is a really great feature, and it&rsquo;s reliable. I wish there were a way to use it with third-party Mac browsers. As far as I know, they have no way to access SMS at all, except perhaps by <a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/28\/textexpander-5\/\">snooping<\/a> the Notification Center database.<\/p>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2019\/04\/17\/safari-auto-submitting-autofilled-passwords\/\">Safari Auto-Submitting AutoFilled Passwords<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>kyro: the pm at apple who came up with sms verification code auto-fill deserves a nobel prize Dan Hill: Yea this is hands down one of the most elegant features I&rsquo;ve used.
