Create Apple ID for a child - Invalid Security Code

I am trying to set up an apple ID for my child. I am using my phone and completing the steps through Family Sharing under the Apple ID on my phone. When I get to the step to enter the verification code I get the code to pop up in front of me on my phone and I enter it and each time I get the error "Cannot Complete Action - Invalid Security Code".


What is happening? How do I fix this?

iPhone 8, iOS 12

FYI to fix this I had to remove all my payment methods (Apple Pay & Paypal) and add only my credit card. Ridiculous.
