Can I Forward Only OTP / Verification Codes?

Not yet on iPhone. Today, PhoneLeash on iPhone forwards every text that arrives in the iOS Messages app. There is no built-in way to filter so that only one-time passwords or verification codes are forwarded.

Why People Want This

Many users want their bank, airline, and 2-factor verification codes delivered to email so they can sign in on a laptop or share access with a team — but they don't want personal texts ending up in the same inbox. PhoneLeash for Android offers an OTP-only plan that auto-detects verification codes and forwards only those messages. We're bringing the same option to iPhone in a future update.

What You Can Do Today

If you only need OTPs in your inbox, the simplest workaround is to set up an email filter that keeps PhoneLeash forwards from senders you don't care about out of your primary view. Most verification codes come from short codes (5- or 6-digit sender numbers), so a filter on the sender field can isolate them reliably.
