Great hack. Another way to get text quickly to your phone, if you have an iPhone, is to send yourself a message on Messages.


Well, that's actually a pretty nice idea

Maybe you can sign up for an SMS broker and send SMSs if you don't have a Mac (it's less expensive than you think)


I just email myself. That works on any combination of computer/phone OSs :)


Can't do that with a password or other sensitive info.

I have a web server that only responds to requests from my LAN. I put sensitive info into an HTML file there, then point my phone's browser to it to copy/paste it; then I delete the info from the file. This way the data never leaves my LAN, which I believe is reasonably well protected.


And if you have a Mac.
