How to share 2FA codes with your team - safely
Texting codes and screenshotting authenticators works until it doesn't. Here's the secure way to share 2FA codes with your team: scoped access to live codes, time-boxed links, and a record of who used what.
Stop pasting codes in chat
Screenshotting a code into Slack leaves the secret in a log forever. Share live access instead - nothing to leak.
Share a code or a group
Hand over a single account or an entire group, depending on how much access the other person actually needs.
Time-boxed & revokable
Share links carry an expiry and can be revoked instantly, so access never outlives its purpose.
Logged for accountability
Every share and view is recorded, so you can always see who had access to which code and when.
Share access, not secrets
The instinct when a teammate needs a 2FA code is to screenshot it or read it out. But a one-time code in a chat thread is a secret you can't take back - it's visible to everyone in the channel and leaves no trace of who used it.
2fashare flips the model: the TOTP secret lives in one place, and you grant scoped access to the live rotating code. Teammates get it through the app; outsiders get a time-boxed link you can revoke. Either way, nothing is ever pasted into a message, and every access is logged.
Common questions
What's the safest way to share 2FA codes with my team?+
Don't share the codes themselves - share scoped access to them. 2fashare stores the TOTP secret once and lets authorized teammates generate the live code, with role-based access and an audit log, instead of pasting one-time codes into chat.
Why is screenshotting 2FA codes in Slack a bad idea?+
A screenshot or pasted code lives in the channel history indefinitely, is visible to anyone with access to that channel, and can't be revoked. It also leaves no record of who actually used it.
Can I share a 2FA code with someone outside my team?+
Yes - mint a time-boxed share link. It grants access to the live rotating code without exposing the secret, and you can revoke it the moment they're done.
How do I stop sharing a code with someone?+
Remove them from the group or revoke the share link. Access ends immediately, with no need to rotate the underlying secret.
Stop screenshotting codes. Start sharing them safely.
