Try using a trusted device. Two-factor authentication for Apple Account - Apple Support - A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, or Mac that you’ve already signed in to using two-factor authentication. It’s a device that we know is yours and that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser.


If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (get Apple’s own instructions in this article: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple Account password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. One tip to using account recovery it to look for options in small blue letters beneath the normal log-in items if you cannot complete the requested information.
