There are several accounts that tend to normally be used by a household a simple example is online groceries accounts.

Those tend to not have the capability of having multiple accounts that aggregate (or even better having a household account that several user can access with roles: parents, childs..)

While that is not a thing, and most apply 2FA when logging in, this can be a big annoyance.

How to use a single account without always needing to ask the owner of the phone associated of the pin?

Here comes SMS Forwarder.

A way to define some rules to forward SMS to other people.

Now, every time my wife needs a 2FA from specific providers, the SMS is automagically redirected to here phone 💥

Done ✅

If you want to have more interesting use cases like this check my articles on My Android Apps, Chrome Extensions and MacOS Apps.

Have fun!
