Hi reem441,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand you're having trouble with AutoFill on your iPhone recognizing SMS security codes you're sent to enter on websites. I know what a convenient feature this is to use; I'd like to help. I'd recommend that you use the following steps:
- Tap Settings > Safari > AutoFill; disable "Use Contact Info" and "Credit Cards"
- Close Safari: How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Restart your iPhone: Restart your iPhone
- Tap Settings > Safari > AutoFill; enable "Use Contact Info" and "Credit Cards"
- Open Safari and test with an SMS verification code again:
- It may also help if you have the cursor on the webpage placed where the code needs to go.
- Wait on the webpage in Safari for the SMS to come in; once received AutoFill should offer the code without you leaving the Safari app or opening the message.
Let me know what you find.
Best Regards.
