What to know

  • The feature is currently rolling out to Gmail version 2026.09.07.x on Android and 6.0.260907 on iOS, but is not yet available on the web.

    • Gmail has a quicker way to copy 2FA codes. A new “ Copy code ” button is rolling out to Gmail inboxes on Android and iOS that previews authentication codes below the subject line, letting you copy them with a single tap without opening the email. It isn’t available on web, but it should make mobile logins less tedious.
