Waiting for approval of new iMac on old iMac

I set up my new iMac today and iCloud is asking me to go to one of my other devices that are logged on to iCloud and approve this iMac. When I logged on, I see my new iMac in the list of My Devices so I'm not sure what the problem is?


I also enabled two factor authentication but am having second thoughts about it given that every time I log onto my iCloud account a new verification code is sent to my iPhone.

You need another trusted device or telephone number.


See Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support:

A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9 and later, or a Mac with OS X El Capitan and later that you've already signed in to using two-factor authentication.
