Login to iCloud after forgetting security code- without an additional device
Hi,
I am trying to login to iCloud on my Mac and after entering the credentials, it asks for the security code which I used to setup iCloud.
I don't remember it and hence, I click on 'Forgot code?' button.
Then I get this-
I don't have another device. What should I do?
I still click on Use another device. and when I click on Can't approve, it says
I am able to login to iCloud in the browser and I have around 1000notes in it. I want to login to iCloud so that I can have the same in my local system. Will I lose my notes if I reset the encryption?
Edit: When I click reset encrypted data, it just logged me out and the cycle repeats.
Please suggest any workarounds.
Thanks.
