My iPhone is drying out in cup of rice - can I forward text messages to my MacBook?

I tried to add my phone number to system preferences on the MacBook but it had to send a verification code to my phone, which is unusable at the moment. Anything else I can try?

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Yes; there are a lot of options. You can have a code sent to any of your "trusted devices" including the MacBook: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support.


You can also request a voice phone call that will read you the code.


Of course those options need to be set up ahead of time. Are you trying to set up two-factor authentication for the first time?
