Google patents system that finds and fills in email verification codes

This filing describes a method where a computer model scans a user's email to find one-time security codes. Once the model identifies the correct code within a message, it automatically sends that code to the user's device to complete the login process.

Why it mattersThis could make logging into accounts smoother by removing the need to manually copy and paste security codes from email.

In the filing’s own words

Techniques involve determining, in response to receiving a request to locate a verification code sent to a user's email account as part of an authentication process for accessing a resource, identifying a message associated with a resource on an email server. Once this message has been identified, a model such as a generative model is used to analyze the message and provide an indication of whether or not the message includes the verification code and, when the message likely includes the verification code, to provide the verification code. In response to determining that the analysis indicates that the message includes the verification code, the verification code is sent to the client device.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method, comprising: receiving, from a client device, a request to locate a verification code in a communications account of a user, the verification code being sent as part of an authentication process for accessing a resource; identifying a message of the communications account that is associated with the resource; obtaining an output from a model that takes the message as input, the output providing an indication of whether or not the message includes a verification code, wherein the output includes the verification code with an indication of the message including a verification code; and in response to the output indicating the message includes the verification code, sending the verification code as a response to the request to the client device.
