Setting up Trusted Phone Numbers under Two-Factor Verification
We are new to smart phones, and this is our first ... two IPhone 12 Pros. I am trying to set up the two-factor authentication and trusted phone numbers.
Here is my problem and question ... the instructions say that "Your trusted devices and phone numbers are used to verify your identity when signing in." We understand that. It also says "Trusted phone numbers are used to verify your identity when signing in and help recover your account if you forget your password. We understand that.
What we envision being on our OWN phones, but possibly forgetting our Apple ID password ... it ism nt that often requested. Our question about trusted phone numbers is ... is the first one listed on the phone the one sent a code? We would like to have our OWN phones be sent the code, as we may not be with the other person, or they may not have their phone with them. BUT, we cannot have the phone list our own phone as the trusted phone number ... it keeps shuffling our own number to second or third place. I have deleted and reentered them, but it continues to do the same.
I understand that, if the phone is stolen, we might not want the code sent to the stolen phone. But, that seems much mote unlikely than forgetting the password when trying to sign onto the App Store.
So, IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE YOUR OWN PHONE NUMBER LITED FIRST IN ORDER OF TRUSTED NUMBERS? OR, IF IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHICH ORDER, HOW CAN WE GET THE CODE TO THE PHONE WE ARE HOLDING AND USING?
I WOULD APPRECIATE THE ADVICE.
