Here you go: View and manage your Apple ID trusted devices on Mac - Apple Support


Your iPhone must appear as a "trusted device" in the list shown in that example screenshot.


If what you see does not resemble the one in that Apple Support document, click Account Details, then Devices. Click your iPhone. "This device is trusted and can receive Apple ID verification codes" must appear for it to be considered a "trusted device".
