Hi,
We have a family sharing icloud account. Myself (organiser), wife (parent/guardian) and our son.
My wife bought a new iPad and when she's setting it up it keeps forcing her to ask for permission and sending the 2FA pins to my device.
This seems to be incorrect for an adult to need another adult to authorise any of their set up.
Do we just need to remove her from the family sharing so she can set up her ipad?
regards,
Kevin.
It is going to send the code to whatever devices were configured for that ID to receive a code. This is a fundamental aspect to 2FA and is there so somebody buying a new iPad can't just sign in and pretend to be your wife. She needs to use the codes to set up her iPad and then go into her account and edit her list of trusted devices so she can receive a code on the devices on which she wishes to receive them.
