Apple ID

On my MacBook (OS 13.2.1) how do I sign in my trusted devices ( iPhone 7 iOS 15.7.3 and iPad iOS 16.3.1) of which Apple ID are different from Macbook's?

Also how do I include that particular iPhone as one of my devices? (The iPad is listed as my device.)

Trusted devices are Apple devices that are signed into the same Apple account (ID) as the one on which you are trying to enter the verification code.


This is from the section "About trusted phone numbers and trusted devices" in the article: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support :


To see, add, or change your trusted phone numbers use one of these methods:

● On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > your name > Password & Security. Next to Trusted Phone Number, tap Edit.

● On a Mac computer choose Apple menu  > System Settings (or System Preferences), then click your name (or Apple ID). Click Password & Security, then add or remove a trusted phone number.

● Using a web browser: Go to the Account Security section of https://appleid.apple.com .


Consider adding an Account Recovery Contact ( Set up an account recovery contact - Apple Support ), you can also get a code that way.


You may also wish to read the articles 'Two-factor authentication for Apple ID' ( Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support ) and 'Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication' ( Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support ). Various sections contain information that is useful in understanding about the trusted devices (an iPhone, iPad, or Mac that Apple knows is yours) system, and how to get a verification code on a trusted device or at a telephone number.
