You get that message because you have Two Factor Authentication on your account. It is supposed to prevent somebody from signing into an account on a different device unless they can get the 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." Instructions at the end about what to do if you don't have any other trusted devices.

You had an Apple ID say example1@gmail.com or created with iCloud domain that was previously used in somewhere it could be Mac / iPhone / iPad ( that are not in possession ) .

Now you purchased a new iPhone and trying to sign in with same Apple ID and password and it creates a verification code and the code goes to that Mac , but can't obtained as Mac / iPhone / iPad are not with you .

Click on back as shown in your screen shot .


To avoid using this Apple ID create a new mail account say with gmail services https://support.google.com/mail/answer/56256?hl=en

You have to visit a friends place or apple authorised service centre to use the browser or can create a gmail account from your new iPhone also .

Use this mail address and sign in with iPhone as an Apple ID and create an account with secondary authentication in which three answers for security questions , date of birth , rescue mail address and its password , credit card details ( optional but very much helpful ) .
