The first preview of Code Caller for Windows.

Preview: everything that finds codes and reads exports is covered by 189 automated tests, and CI builds every version on Windows. The app itself hasn't been tried on many PCs yet, so please report anything that doesn't work.

What it does

  • Ctrl+Shift+C copies your newest 2FA code from Outlook (classic) or Thunderbird, including junk folders, and shows where it came from.
  • Ctrl+Shift+A opens the built-in authenticator after Windows Hello. Type a few letters and press Enter to copy a code.
  • Imports authenticator accounts from Google Authenticator, Apple Passwords or Safari, Bitwarden, Aegis, 2FAS and otpauth:// links.
  • Codes stay out of clipboard history (Win+V) and the cloud clipboard and clear themselves after a minute. The notice stays out of screenshots and screen sharing.
  • No networking code at all, and no telemetry.

It can't read text messages, the new Outlook for Windows, or mail you only read in a browser. The Windows README has the details.

Install

Download the zip for your PC: x64 for most PCs, Arm64 for Snapdragon and other Arm PCs. Unzip it, put CodeCaller.exe somewhere it can stay, and run it. Nothing else needs to be installed. It needs Windows 10 version 2004 or later, or Windows 11.

About the SmartScreen warning: The first time you run Code Caller, Windows may say Windows protected your PC. That's not because anything is wrong with the app. Code Caller isn't code-signed, because a code signing certificate costs money and Code Caller hasn't bought one. The source is fully open, so you can read every line or build the app yourself. To run it, click More info, then Run anyway.
