I have the same need and in my opinion, unless you use a twilio number, there is no programmatic way of reading the messages like you can read emails. Check out twilio packages and post your findings here.

Actually,
there is this package of activities, that can help you.

Or any other desktop app that can store the OTP codes for you (like 2fast for example).
Just when you do the setup, you need to enter the (i call it seed) code to that code storage.
See this: How To Generate Secret Key.docx (70.0 KB)
And you will understand that id you have eg. Google account , then you dont have to use twillio.

Welcome to the UiPath forum.

To answer your question, no, I haven’t pursued that option, because I don’t want to see myself overriding and violating the website administrator’s security measures to implement 2FA as a security measure for their users. I made my bot an attended bot where the user would have to physically get the OTP code from their phone to proceed with the rest of the workflow. With PIP mode, this is easy as it does not interfere with the user as they continue to use their workstation while the bot is running on the PIP screen.
