🚀 Automating OTP Login with a JavaScript Browser Extension

As a JavaScript developer, I often found myself wasting time logging into websites and copying OTPs from my email. So, I built a simple browser extension that automates this process by:

• Logging in automatically

• Fetching the latest OTP from my inbox

• Filling the OTP in the website’s login form

💡 Technical Breakdown:

• JavaScript powers the extension, allowing it to interact with both the browser and email inbox.
  DOM manipulation helps automatically input the OTP into the login form.

• Email Parsing extracts the OTP using regex from opened emails or inbox pages.

🔧 Key Steps:

• Access the email and parse the OTP.
  Use DOM manipulation to autofill the OTP into the login form.

• Thorough testing to ensure reliability across multiple websites.

🔄 Lessons Learned:

• Automation boosts productivity by removing repetitive tasks.

• Mastering DOM manipulation in JavaScript helps automate browser interactions efficiently.

🚀 The Results:

The extension streamlined my login process, saving time and eliminating the need for manual OTP handling.
