Two factor verification on child’s device

Can I use my phone number on my child's iPad (that has a different Apple ID) for two factor verification? She does not have a cell phone. Her account is part of my family sharing acct.

iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi, Cellular

Change trusted number on daughter's Apple ID in Family Sharing I'm trying to sign into my daughter's iPad after a restore and it's trying to send the verification code to an old cell phone number. I've tried going the route of "can't use this #" but when I try to sign in another way it tries to send the verification code to my daughter's apple ID which I also cannot sign into online. What do I do so that she can have her iPad back?

2 factor identification So I set up my daughter in family. I have all the account restrictions set and location sharing turned on. But when I try to login to her iCloud account, it’s sends the 2 factor code to her phone. Is there a way to make it use my number instead? thanks!

Creating AppleID for a minor Hi, I've been trying to create an AppleID (under the family sharing) for my daughter (she's 4), but I seem to run into an issue (repeatedly) when I get to the two-factor authentication section. Since my daughter is 4, she does not have a phone, and my number is listed, but Apple (seemingly) will now allow this number to be linked to two accounts. Is there a way to bypass this?

I do not see why a phone could not be used as a trusted device for several Apple IDs. Read about trusted devices in this link:
