Q: I can't set up my I watch. Keeps asking for verification code on another device.

I have just purchased an Apple Watch but can't set it up. It keeps saying my user name is being used. I type my password in and it keeps saying enter verification code on another device. I'm not sure where to type it in. Any help would be good.

Hi Gregory

When two-step verification is set up on your Apple ID and you come to sign in to iCloud on a new device, your verification code must be entered on one of your "trusted devices".
