Forward OTPs from your iPhone using PhoneLeash

2 min read

You can forward one-time passwords (OTPs) from your iPhone automatically using PhoneLeash. Subscribe to an OTP-only plan, and PhoneLeash filters out every other kind of message and forwards only your verification codes to your email — within seconds, no manual copying.

Why forward just your OTPs?

If you sign in on a laptop, travel with a second phone, or share account access with a team, you need your bank, airline, and 2-factor codes somewhere other than a phone that might be in another room or another country. But most people don't want all their personal texts piling up in their inbox to get there. OTP-only forwarding solves exactly that: the codes you need arrive in email, and everything else stays private on your phone.

How it works on iPhone

When you choose an OTP-only plan, PhoneLeash auto-detects incoming one-time passwords and verification codes and forwards only those to your email. Personal texts, group chats, and everyday messages are filtered out automatically — you don't set up any keyword rules yourself.

It works across message types, too. Whether a code arrives as iMessage, SMS, or RCS, PhoneLeash recognizes it and forwards it the same way, typically within a few seconds — well inside the usual OTP expiration window.

OTP-only plans

  • Personal — $2.99/month. OTP forwarding for a single device.
  • Commercial — $5.99/month. OTP forwarding for teams, with up to 5 licensed devices.

Both include a 30-day free trial, and the app has no ads. Subscriptions are billed through Apple In-App Purchase — open PhoneLeash on your iPhone and tap Subscribe to pick an OTP-only plan.

Set it up in a couple of minutes

  1. Install PhoneLeash from the App Store and run the setup, which walks you through forwarding your texts to your email.
  2. Subscribe to an OTP-only plan in the app (tap Subscribe and choose Personal or Commercial).
  3. Test it. Trigger a real verification code from any service and confirm it lands in your inbox — while a normal text stays on your phone.
