Ok. Here. Maybe this article explains it better: How to Use Secure Code AutoFill in iOS 12 and macOS Mojave


You don't have to copy or key in the code. You don't even have to look at the SMS message although you do have to wait for it, of course. Then you just tap in the authentication field and then the keyboard pops up with the code in the QuickType bar immediately above the keys. You just tap on that to paste the code it into the authentication field.

OK and how it is possible to copy this number and use it as a note somewhere in the iOS. Authentication fields working more or less OK in some applications. Not in all but in some yes.
But what happened when you ask your girlfriend for a measurement: 906090 is the answer. How this number can be copied and used in the Wonderbra e-shop 😀 In this case context menu allows you just following but not a simple copy text. Why ?
