When a site sends its second-factor code by email, Champ reads the code from the profile’s Champ email address and feeds it into the login automatically. Set this up once per managed profile.

​
Step 1 — Enable the Email method

Open your profile under Integrate → Browser Profiles, and under Two-factor authentication select Email. Champ reads codes from the profile’s Champ email address, generating one if the profile doesn’t have one yet. Copy the address before your first login test, so the site has somewhere to send the code.

​
Step 2 — Get codes to the Champ address

Pick whichever fits the site:
  • Create the account with the Champ address — if you’re setting up a fresh account for Champ to use, sign up with the Champ address as the account’s email. 2FA codes (and any verification emails) then land at the address directly — nothing to forward or register.
  • Register it directly — if the site lets you set the email that receives 2FA codes, paste the Champ address there.
  • Forward from your inbox — if codes go to a mailbox you control, forward them to the Champ address.

​
Forward from Gmail

Following Google’s auto-forwarding guide:
  1. In Gmail on the web, open Settings (⚙️) → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP, and click Add a forwarding address.

    Gmail's Forwarding and POP/IMAP settings. Click Add a forwarding address.

  2. Paste your Champ address and confirm. Google emails a confirmation to that address. Champ relays it back to your own inbox as an “Action required” message — open it and click Google’s confirmation link to authorize forwarding.
  3. Now scope a filter so only your 2FA mail is forwarded. Open Settings → Filters and Blocked Addresses and click Create a new filter.

    The Filters and Blocked Addresses tab. Click Create a new filter.

  4. Match on your 2FA sender (From) or Subject, then click Create filter. Scoping the filter keeps unrelated mail out and makes code detection more reliable.

  5. Check Forward it to and pick your Champ address, then click Create filter to save.

Step 3 — Test the login

Save with Create & Test (or run the login from the profile row). Champ logs in, waits for the code at the Champ address, extracts it, and completes sign-in. It waits about two minutes for the code; if none arrives, the login is cancelled — re-run it once forwarding is in place.
