Why do I not receive the verification code?
See Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204974 Below is an excerpt, but read the whole document. See the bold italics below.
Whenever you sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or browser, you'll confirm your identity with your password plus a six-digit verification code. There are a few ways you can get a verification code. You can use the code displayed on your trusted device, get a text or phone call, or generate a code from your trusted device [see the additional information in the article].
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 into using two-factor authentication.
If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. This link takes you to:
Recover your Apple ID when you can’t reset your password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204921 which you may need to use.
“Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. After you request account recovery, you'll get an email with a confirmation of your request and the date and time of when you can expect to regain access. … When the wait period is over, Apple sends you a text or automated phone call with instructions to regain access to your account.” Read the whole document carefully.

In Mac OS catalina 10.15.6 when Apple ID and password is signed with www.icloud.com it prompts to enter admin password , don't enter it rather click on cancel .
Then enter Apple ID and password manually ( if iCloud Keychain is set up the credentials will fill up automatically ) .
Click on allow .
Slightly drag and drop the window of change password , click on don't change .
The verification window that was hidden will appear , a code will appear when the Mac is located through IP address , and location services / find my Mac is enabled .
Sometimes due to weak wifi signals , the code can be delayed then click on didn't get a verification , the code appears on Mac , use it and access the account also in this case devices are added in the Mac but not synced so the code will not appear in iPhone ( most important clue ) and Mac will act as device and create a code on desktop screen .
Regarding Mac OS Yosemite , the steps might differ as versions have been changed , the upcoming steps might have changed .
The step what I mentioned is when trusted numbers are added / and verified in the account , but they are not signed in with same Apple ID and password on the same network .
If Mac and trusted numbers are signed in with same Apple ID and password and are synced , the code can be generated from Mac or iPhone ( same method using maps , it will prompt to allow or don't allow ) .
If the question is for two factor authentication account , either the device iPhone is lost / damaged / turned off or the sim has been removed / not in service or broken and mobile number is not verified in the account .
It depends the account is set from iPhone or Mac .
Thanks.
This is regarding two factor authentication.
Apple account is created on imac.
I never get authentication code on my registered phone.
But, when I click on "Didn't get code ...... Resent it, I get SMS with code.
It happens always. Strange!
In Yosemite OS X, there is no link with "Didn't get verification code?", So, I just can not login into icloud, Appstore, anything?
How to fix it?
Any help greatly appreciated.
I could not install latest OS due to some problems.
Therefore, I had to install Yosemite 10.10.5
I could not sign in using apple id because it asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your password when signing in.
I did not receive the verification code on my phone.
There was no link saying " Didn't get a verification code? Resend it?"
Therefore I could not ask for re-sending the verification code. And thus, I can never get it, and thus, I can never sign in my mac using apple id?
Unless I sign in using Apple id, I can not use the solution suggested by you.
I hope I am clear now.
This is indeed annoying.
Apple should suggest an easy way out!
How to overcome this problem?
No, its two-factor authentication.
I have created apple-id less than a month ago.
Apple never send verification code.
But when I click on "Didn't receive ....? Resend ...", I get it.
But in Yosemite, I do not get a link with "Didn't receive ....? Resend ...".
This is very tricky :(
Frustrated with this problem.
Is there a way to fix this issue??
I think you are using two step verification rather than two factor authentication account see this https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204152
