Icloud pin

Good afternoon,


We purchased an iphone 13 and transferred data easily and are using the phone, however it continues to disconnect from Icloud and asks for a pin that I don't recall ever setting up. I tired a random pin and was able to disconnect the find my iphone lock to send the 11 in as a trade in, now that pin won't work for this issue. Anyone else have icloud issues after switching phones. Never had an issue with it on my 11 until I tried resetting it for trade in, now it won't accept the pin on the new phone. My watch keeps disconnecting too. It's very annoying.

Hey there dixensvixen,


To clarify, does a pop up appear on screen requesting a passcode for your Apple ID or a passcode for something else? If you enter your iPhone passcode, does that help?


It's possible you're being asked for your Apple ID verification code if you're attempting to sign in with the account in iCloud settings. This link will help you determine if this is the code you're seeing:

Feel free to provide more information for additional support.


Take care!
