iPhone support -- SMS verification codes not appearing as autofill. Help?

My phone used to autofill the 2-factor SMS verification codes used when logging into a site. I can't remember when or why, but suddenly it doesn't appear, and I have to... (gasp) type in the SMS code manually.

SOLVED:

Autofill SMS codes only work with Safari.

    Did you switch to a different browser? It only works in Safari.
