Hi kade263,
Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that your son's iPhone shows a "Waiting for Approval" message and you'd like to know how to move past it. I can see why you'd reach out about this; I'd like to point you in the right direction. If this is regarding a code to approve a device with two-factor authentication, check out the information in the resources below for help with approvals:
- Two-factor authentication for Apple ID
- Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication
If you're referring to approving a device to use with iCloud Keychain, take a look here instead: Get help with iCloud Keychain
Best Regards.
