I HAVE THE RESOLUTION. after experiencing this issue myself where the apple watch is requesting a password and you enter the password from your apple phone but then never receive the verification code this is what you need to do. Yes, It is because many of us have 2 apple IDs (1 for personal associated for you only "1st ID" and other possibly used for itunes and app store for family "2nd ID"). On a device (you decide) .. sign out of the apple id associated with your personal and sign into the one that the APPLE WATCH is asking for. This is a temporary sign out ... after you get the verification code to the 2nd ID then you can sign back in using the 1st ID. I have multiple devices so I signed out and back in using a secondary phone that I have. But you can do this on an IPAD or Macbook also. I would not do this on your primary phone. Once you sign in with the 2nd iD .... go through the verification steps on the WATCH again. This will now send the verification code to the device you used to sign into with the "2nd ID". Get that verification code, use it to verify the watch. Then go to the app store icon on the WATCH and choose any free app to download and make sure it downloads. Wait 5 minutes to confirm that you are no longer receiving this message on the watch anymore and then go back to that device you selected to now SIGN OUT using the 2nd ID and sign back in with the 1st ID.
These steps should save you 2 hours on the phone with TIER 2 APPLE Support.
TIER 1 apple support will not be able to fix this issue. If you call apple support, you need to specifically request TIER 2 support.
Be blessed and pay it forward!

Apple needs to fix the Apple Watch problem with Apple ID and password. It is very annoying to pay this much and cannot use this device.
Have you tried any of the suggested solutions? What are the details of your particular situation? Is it your Apple ID or one you don’t recognize?
For me, it is my Store-only account.
My problem is that is when I get the notification I get nothing on my phone as a way to enter my password. And on my watch I’m signed into my Apple ID.
Yeah, the notification appears for just a moment if you're lucky, or not at all. Can you enter it directly on the Watch?
Still says unable to verify at this time whenever I do get the keyboard on my phone. Most of the time the keyboard never show up.
Did you get your iwatch fixed?
Yes. See my post on the previous page.
I enter my password for my apple id on my watch and it keeps saying its invalid. What do I do. It sends 2 notifications several times a day and its really getting annoying.
Mine still keeps doing it.
My problem is that I only have one apple ID and on the watch app there is no place to enter the apple id password. The id is there but no field to enter the password.
When I go into Apple ID in the watch app on my phone it doesn’t provide a way to enter the passcode. How is it done?
Go to Apple ID - shows email but doesn’t give option yo sign in
This does not work. Just wasting my time.
