Autofill two-factor code not working on iMac for bank login

My bank has changed its login page so now when it sends an authentication code via SMS the code no longer pops up on my Mac screen to autofill the field. It still works that way on my iPad. Is there some setting I can change to provide the autofill on the mac?

Alright, doing a Safe Mode restart does not always solve the problem. Also, if you are using a wireless keyboard it would be VERY wise to get USB keyboard and mouse because sometimes the wireless connection does not work on a SafeMode restart. Keyboards and mice are very inexpensive so don't worry about cost.


I also would recommend doing an EtreCheck report of the system to ensure there is nothing installed that is causing the problem. EtreCheck has a paid version and an unpaid version, the unpaid version is fine however if you want to buy it that would be your decision.


It will help us get a good idea of what is causing your problem if you provide a report of your system, that way we do not have to play 20 questions with you. The report we are requesting does NOT provide any personal information and is extremely safe to use. Please navigate to www.Etrecheck.com and download the free version of EtreCheck. Once you have you downloaded the app and installed it, please run the report and save it. This report will help us get a good idea what has been installed on your system and help us be able to diagnose what may be wrong.

 

When you have your report, you can attach it when you reply to this message and we can then review it and help you determine what is needed to get your system running well again. 

 

For instructions on how to download your EtreCheck report and attach it to your reply to this message please click How to use the Add Text Feature When Post… - Apple Community It is helpful to us if you download the report to your Desktop.
