Those of you who use two-factor authentication know that whenever you try to log into your Apple ID on a new device you get an Apple ID Verification code. This code is essential as it allows users to sign into their account securely. However there are times when the verification code does not appear on the device, and when that happens you’re not able to sign into your account.
Thankfully iOS allows users to manually generate a verification code and use it in order to sign into their Apple ID or on iCloud’s website. You can generate a verification for your Apple ID only from the trusted device such as your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
