Why must I confirm my Apple-id several times a day?

My Mac keep telling me that I have to confirm my Apple-id-phone number every day, and often several times a day.

I click the message, and completes all the steps in the screen Apple-ID to confirm that I will keep my number. No errors.

In a few hours or the next day I get the same message to confirm my Apple-ID.

So - how do I get rid of this annoying reminder?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4

I had Apple support on the phone and with remote access to my MacBook Pro. We were able to recreate the problem just after checking the email and phone number on both my units and appleid.apple.com, where both my email address and phone number have trusted status.


There is a annoying error with Apple software, that creates this reminder on my MacBook Pro with Monterey 12.4 over and over again, to confirm information that have been confirmed several times before.

When you still get that message like this:



Click on Continue.

Enter your Apple ID password, then follow the on-screen instructions.

This is hopeless.

  • I have been to Sign-In and Security
  • I have been to Personal Information


No one of those places have a confirm option for keeping my phone number. I have no more phone numbers to add, and I simply don't see the point of deleting and adding a phone number, just to confirm that I will keep my phone number.


Confirming the phone number in the Apple-ID screen on my MacBook used to work, but not any more.
