Need to share a login code with someone, but don’t want to mess with screenshots, texts, or insecure emails? A new tool built right here in Madison makes it easy — and secure — to pass along two-factor authentication (2FA) codes in real time.
What’s the problem with sharing 2FA codes?
Many websites now require a second step to log in — usually a code sent by text or an app like Google Authenticator. This is called two-factor authentication, or 2FA. It helps keep accounts safer, but it also makes it harder to share access when two people need to log in to the same account.
If you’ve ever said “Hey, what’s the code they just texted you?” — this tool is for you.
Meet ShareLogin.Codes
ShareLogin.Codes is a free, no-login tool created in Madison by local developer Tony Herman. It lets two people meet in a secure browser room to share codes, real-time updates, and even mark when they’re done.
“I wanted something fast and easy — no accounts, no saving, just a clean way to coordinate on a shared login,” says Herman. “It’s perfect for families, tech support, and remote teams.”
How it works
- You create a room with a name and time.
- You send the private link to the other person.
- Both of you can see and share a 2FA code securely. You can mark when you’re done and say thanks — that’s it.
There’s no need to install an app, no passwords to remember, and no personal data is stored. Rooms automatically expire, and any codes you share vanish shortly after being entered.
Built in Madison, used everywhere
“We’re seeing usage from all over — but this is very much a Madison-style project,” Herman says. “It’s practical, private, and built without trying to harvest data or get bought by Google.”
Herman runs several local sites, including MadisonClick.com, and has long championed independent tech that values simplicity over bloat. “There’s a real culture of clean, honest tech in Madison,” he adds. “This tool fits right in.”
Try it free
You can check out the tool at ShareLogin.Codes. It’s completely free to use and works on desktop and mobile.
Pro tip: If you’re helping a parent or coworker who struggles with logins, this could save a lot of “What’s the code?” headaches.
Bonus: You don’t have to sign up for anything — just use it and go.
