Delete Verification Codes Automatically
Using two-factor authentication is important; it’ll help you keep your accounts safe, even if someone gets hold of your password. However, having too many verification codes on your iPhone might be annoying, especially if you have to get rid of them manually.
Fortunately, Apple thought of this and has made it easier to delete verification codes right after you use them.
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Passwords.
- Use Face ID or Touch ID if you need to.
- Tap on Password Options.
- Enable Clean Up Automatically, right under Verification Codes.
This works whether your verification codes are received via SMS in the Messages app or via email in the Mail app — which is another new feature in iOS 17.
