How To Automatically Delete Verification Codes In Ios 17

In this hands-on guide, we will show you how to enable the auto-delete verification codes feature in iOS 17. Without any further ado, let’s get started!

Auto-Delete Verification Codes (OTP) on iOS 17 on iPhone & iPad

1. Go to Settings -> Passwords.
2. Then, tap on Password Options.
3. Under Verification Codes, turn on the Clean Up Automatically toggle.

Auto-Fill Verification Codes in Mail on iPhone and iPad

The iOS 17 update also brings the auto-fill verification codes feature to the Mail app. It works similarly to the autofill feature in the Messages app. Therefore, when you get a one-time verification code via email, the Mail app automatically detects it and shows the option to paste it into a website or app without having to switch back & forth.
It’s worth mentioning that when you enable clean verification codes on iOS 17 or iPadOS 17, your OTPs are automatically deleted from the Messages and Mail app after you have pasted them with autofill.
