I’ve used SMS for 2FA even though it’s vulnerable to hijacking because AutoFill from SMS makes it so easy. AutoFill from Mail will be a welcome alternative.

In my experience, and on iOS, it only works with the first-party Mail.app; trying to use a third-party app like GMail won't pull up 2FA codes.
