What is new in Copy 2FA 0.4.0

Grab an older code when two show up at once.

- **Recent codes:** click the menu bar icon → **Recent Codes…** to see the last five codes from Mail and Messages, newest first, each with who sent it, where it came from and how long ago it arrived. Pick one with the arrow keys and Return, or click it.
- **One entry per code:** a code sent by both email and text is listed once.
- **Its own shortcut, if you want one:** set it in **Settings → General**. It's off until you record one, so Copy 2FA doesn't take over another key combination by itself.
- **Private like everything else:** the list follows **Show the code in the notice**, stays out of screenshots and screen sharing, and closes when you click away, lock the screen or after a minute. Its codes are cleared when it closes.
- **⌃⇧C is exactly as fast as before.** Copying the newest code still stops at the first one it finds.

No new permissions, and still no internet access.

## Install or update

1. Download **Copy-2FA.zip** below and unzip it.
2. Quit Copy 2FA if it's running, then move the new **Copy 2FA** into Applications, replacing the old one.
