Share Healthcare.gov 2FA with your team — without screenshots.

Most teams sharing Healthcare.gov access do it badly: a screenshot in Slack, a personal phone in someone's drawer, a 1Password note that drifts out of date. Here's the right way.

The setup

Three minutes from sign-up to first Healthcare.gov code.

  1. 01Sign up for Kaito. Free 14-day trial, no credit card. You'll set up MFA on your own account before adding any tokens.
  2. 02Add the Healthcare.gov 2FA seed. In Kaito, go to Tokens → New and either scan the Healthcare.gov 2FA QR code or paste the secret. Kaito auto-resolves the Healthcare.gov icon.
  3. 03Choose who can see the code. Create a group (e.g. healthcare.gov-admins), add the relevant teammates, and grant the group code-only permission on the token.
  4. 04Provision a Kaito SMS number. Since Healthcare.gov only supports SMS 2FA, point your account's phone-on-file at a Kaito-provisioned number. Inbound codes stream in real time to everyone in the group.
  5. 05Generate the first code. Anyone in the group opens the token in Kaito and sees the current 6-digit code with a 30-second countdown ring. The view is logged immediately to the audit log.
Why this is better

The Healthcare.gov screenshot in Slack vs. Kaito.

Screenshot in Slack
  • • Searchable by everyone in the workspace
  • • Replicated to every device anyone has logged Slack in on
  • • Stays in DM history when teammates leave
  • • No record of who used it when
  • • Encodes the seed itself, valid forever
Healthcare.gov via Kaito
  • • Seed encrypted at rest, never sent to clients
  • • Group-permissioned: only authorized teammates see the code
  • • Auto-revoked when someone leaves the group
  • • Every code view logged with user, IP, time
  • • One-click rotation when needed

Sharing tolerated for Healthcare.gov

Healthcare.gov's terms on account sharing are unclear or grey-area. Many teams share access in practice; doing so via Kaito gives you a clean audit trail if it ever becomes a question.
