Show HN: Auto-OTP: automatically send and receive OTPs, end-to-end encrypted

I built something similar with Shortcuts or whatever the iOS automation thing is called.

1. Receive otp 2. Launch automation which posts entire message content to url 3. Broadcast message to other people in my circle.

It works fine so long as my OTPs arrive correctly.

Hey, that’s pretty cool!

I have a question about your method - Are all messages broadcasted to the server? If only the ones with an OTP, are OTP messages for all apps broadcasted to those people?

In Auto-OTP, the OTP can be forwarded to different people app-wise. For example, you may choose who should receive the OTP for app1, who receives for app2 etc.

I have a rule which searches for the keyword OTP in incoming SMSes so not all messages get forwarded.

With this Shortcut her information is posted to a url, iOS requires the user to click okay to execute the action. So, you still have control on whether a message gets broadcast or not.

E.g., if a friend messages me asking “hey, did you get the OTP?”, my shortcut will prompt me to broadcast the SMS via the url but I can choose not to.
