How does the 2FAS Auth Browser Extension work?

When logging into any 2FA-protected service, you will get asked for a 2FA token. Usually, you’ll have to open your 2FA app, find a proper token/code and rewrite it. With a Browser Extension, you can click a button next to the address bar or use a keyboard shortcut, and the browser extension will send a request to 2FAS Auth on your phone. Then you can decide whether to accept or refuse the request. If you accept, the app will automatically transfer the token to the plugin in a safe and encrypted way. The plugin decrypts the token and places it in the correct input.

Remember that 2FAS Auth needs to be paired with the browser on which you’ve installed 2FAS Auth Browser Extension.
