2fa notification not popping up in phone Hello! I'm trying to use the icloud account on my work macbook. It is asking me to provide the credentials, and in the popups, i've entered the user name and password. Next it is asking me to enter the 2FA 6 digit number from the phone. I don't see any popup, there is no dnd enabled as well. I tried it several times with no luck. Next i tried(On phone) to go to the settings > Name >Password & security > 'Get verification code', I got a 6 digit code which i tried to enter the code on the mac, it says that it is an invalid code. Could some one help me understand what is going on? why doesn't the mac recognize the verification code? Different problem, i have the 'Two-factor authentication' toggle disabled on iphone, i cannot disable it for some reason.

iOS 9, released by Apple in 2015, introduced two-factor authentication. Earlier operating systems relied on two-step verification.
