Q: family sharing prompting for security code

I am having the exact same problem. I have reentered same card and different card multiple times with no success. Logged out and back in of all accounts.

Did bgorenflo ever get his problem resolved?

Please help

Did you ever resolve your issue? I am having the same issue.

I had to remove my wife's phone from family sharing purchase the app then add her back. we will see if the problem happens again next time she tries to purchase something.

Brad Moon did you ever find a solution for this issue?

I had this same problem for a few weeks now, and here's what my problem was. Before I joined a Family Share account, I had PayPal setup as my method of payment. When I go to Settings > iCloud, tap on my name, I see PayPal there, when I tap on it, it does show the family organizer's method of payment, but it also shows my PayPal from before, and says EXPIRED below it. So what I did was leave the family, go into my Payment Option within iTunes on a computer, change my method of payment to None, got a family invite again, and this time, I finally got asked for the security code, entered it, issue resolved. Before, I would get to the point where I was suppose to enter the security code, but that prompt would never come up.

djluis2k7's solution worked for me. I've been looking for the answer for a long time. I only have my wife and myself on our family plan and she could never complete a purchase on her iPhone because the field for the security code never showed up even though it prompted for it to complete the purchase.

I had her leave the family sharing via her iPhone's iCloud settings menu.

Then I had her log into iTunes on her MacBook and go Store > View Account where she could then see her payment method which just as in djluis2k7's case the PayPal account was selected and there was an expiration notice displayed. She updated this to "None" and saved the settings.

Then I invited her back to family sharing on my iPhone.

Afterwards I had her go through and make the purchase she wanted and was prompted for the CC security code for the card I had setup on my account. This time the field was present and I was able to enter it and she completed her purchase.

Thanks djluis2k7 for your post, it was very helpful!

This was my exact situation! Prior to family sharing I used Paypal too! Once we removed my Apple ID from the family, I found that my paypal account was still using my old college email as the login, which I have since updated on PayPal. I removed that from iTunes using my Mac, and then set my payment to None. After that, I asked my husband to reinvite me to our Family Share and everything is working again. Thanks for the tip!

Seems there is a couple of places this information is stored. When trying to set up a new ipad I was prompted for the code of a superseeded card. ***. Changing the card information in account settings didn't pass through. Looking at this forum and reading between the lines had be try through family sharing and there it was a BLANK payment method. Again I say ***. Why are they populating a data field with information and not telling you it even exists. Populated the same current card information into this area and it updated the new ipad straight away. Why don't hey advise or use security questions. And since this doesn't appear to be isolated also put a potential answer on the setup e.g. If you are getting verification fail update card details in "Parent family share " Der

It is worth noting that it may be something other than the payment method (such as the expired PayPal or credit card) which may be tripping up the ability of the organizer to verify the payment method.

In my case, my payment information was missing the salutation/honorific (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.), though my payment method was set to "None."
