So, if I understand your workflow:


You're in a website and they send you a verification code. You then press and hold the code and tap copy. You want to get back to the website to paste the code you have just copied, correct?


On the code page you just copied the code from, swipe up halfway from the bottom of your screen to bring up the app switcher, then tap the web page to get back there, where you can [hopefully] paste the code.

You’re not understanding what I am asking. These codes are sent to me to verify it is me, let’s say buying something or checking my acct status for something

they text me a code. I get the code. I go to the email where they sent the code or I go to my text. I click and copy the code. Now I am trying to get back to the original site where I paste the code.


So is your issue with getting back into Safari app, or is the issue with getting back into the part of the website that seeks the code?


Getting back into Safari uses the app switcher. Slide a finger up from the bottom center edge toward the middle slowly, and pause. Slide left or right to find Safari, and tap on it.


Getting back to the part of the website prompting for the code is a problem with the website itself, and — if it’s not the same webpage that prompted — is best a discussion had with the website maintainers.


Or the website maintainers can consider adding support for a passkey as an alternative, which avoids the trip through SMS or email or whatever.

Exactly what I wrote he needs to do hours ago.

How to contact a Web Publisher or the Host


Contacting a web publisher or the host of a website can be helpful for various reasons, such as reporting issues with the website, seeking permission to use content, or addressing copyright concerns. The process may vary slightly depending on the website, but here are some general steps you can follow:


  1. Check the Website: First, visit the website and look for a "Contact" or "About Us" page. Many websites provide contact information there, including email addresses or contact forms.
  2. Web Hosting Company: If you have an issue related to the website's hosting, such as reporting abuse or copyright infringement, you can try contacting the web hosting company. To find the hosting company, you can use online tools like "whoishostingthis.com" or similar services. Once you identify the hosting company, visit their website and look for contact information or support options.
  3. Be Clear and Polite: Whether you are reaching out via email, contact form, or social media, always be clear, concise, and polite in your communication. Clearly state the reason for contacting them and provide any necessary details to help them understand your request or concern.
  4. Give Time for a Response: Allow some time for the web publisher or hosting company to respond. It may take a few days, depending on their responsiveness.


Remember, always be respectful in your communication, and avoid any hostile or aggressive language, as it is unlikely to yield a positive response.
