Share NHS App 2FA with your team — without screenshots.
Most teams sharing NHS App access do it badly: a screenshot in Slack, a personal phone in someone's drawer, a 1Password note that drifts out of date.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 NHS App code.
- 01Sign up for Kaito. Free 14-day trial, no credit card. You'll set up MFA on your own account before adding any tokens.
- 02Add the NHS App 2FA seed. In Kaito, go to Tokens → New and either scan the NHS App 2FA QR code or paste the secret. Kaito auto-resolves the NHS App icon.
- 03Choose who can see the code. Create a group (e.g. nhs app-admins), add the relevant teammates, and grant the group code-only permission on the token.
- 04Provision a Kaito SMS number. Since NHS App 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.
- 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 NHS App 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
NHS App 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
Compliance
Sharing tolerated for NHS App
NHS App'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.
Stop pasting NHS App codes in Slack.
