Two-Factor Authentication Code

I introduce my account on iCloud in Settings. Then a message appears that they sent a code to the other approved devices (which I don't yet have because it's a recently created account and I only have a mac), but I do have a trusted phone number, which is a cell. I've been waiting for the **** code for more than a day and nothing happens.
