Hello Racinboy11c,


You'll first want to consider who the verification code is coming from. If it is coming from a third-party app or another developer, you'll want to reach out to them directly for more information about this verification code. If you use two-factor authentication with your Apple ID and this message is coming from Apple, you'll want to look over and follow the guidance offered on this page: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication. This page offers information on how to use your verification code to sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or browser.


Use the code displayed on your trusted device

If you have a trusted device running iOS 9 and later, OS X El Capitan and later, iPadOS 13 and later, or watchOS 6 and later, the verification code is displayed automatically on your trusted devices.
1. Sign in with your Apple ID and password on a new device or browser.
2. Look for a sign in notification on any of your trusted devices.

3. Tap Allow to receive your verification code.
4. Enter the verification code on your other device to complete sign in.


We hope this information helps you out.


Best wishes!
