I use my tablet and laptop way more than my phone. I hate having to walk to another room to pickup my phone from its charger just to get one of these SMS codes. When I'm doing phone support I often hear, "hold on, I have to get my phone" when this step is required.

Setup your laptop and tablet to get SMS messages forwarded to them from your phone.
Good idea but I can't seem to find a built in way to do this. Everything I've found involves third party apps which have all the usual problems that make me not want to use them: permission, ads, in-app purchases, battery drain, etc. Do you know of any way to do this that's already built into Android?
