Confirm iPhone Passcode message

My concern is that I share my Apple ID between my work iPhone and my personal iPhones.

I don’t think I use iCloud at all but I can’t be 100% sure about my pictures on my personal iPhones.

My question is if I enter the passcode from my work phone (which is different from my personal phones), will it encrypt the contents of my iCloud Storage with this passcode and make my iCloud data inaccessible to my personal phones?

Your answer has zero applicability to the problem. The issue is a continuous notification prompt that you have to manually verify your passcode to get iCloud services. This happens everyday, Apple updated something and broke this feature. This screenshot is the stupid prompt.

This if related to advanced data protection for iCloud stuff doesn’t make sense. I’ve not turned on that feature and I continue to regularly get this annoying confirmation message from inside settings. For heaven’s sake, I’ve confirmed…now at least a dozen times over the past few months. What more do we have to do IFF advanced data protection is an option to use!

This is a user to user support forum. We are all users here......just like you. No one here can answer questions about what Apple might or might not do, or when they might do something.

Apple is not here. They won't respond here.

If you want to speak to Apple, contact them directly.

I downloaded Apple Support app this morning and I was able to quickly Chat with a person who tried a couple of things and then had a more experienced person Dean call me. He connected to my iPad and saw the error I was getting on both iPad and iPhone. He checked the IOS version and it is 16.5 and it’s the same on iPhone. He researched it and saw that a solution for it is to change the Passcode. I changed my passcode on both iPad and iPhone and if it comes back again, I have a direct contact with him since he owned the case.

Hope this will work and help you all.

Yes I am getting this on all my devices every few days as well - its really annoying. Something changed in one of the last few releases as this is "over security". I wouldn't mind confirming every few months, but its way too often now. And it also is very slow to do - while it thinks about the answer....

Hi MC2022FL,

We'll be glad to go over this with you. You shouldn't need to reset or reinstall anything for this. Generally, you just need to enter the passcode it's requesting in order to verify your account. Keep in mind this may be a passcode from another iPhone on your account as well.

This is normal, and protects sensitive data, like passwords, credit card numbers, and Messages stored in iCloud. Once you approve access, only the device that you sign in on can read your data. Complete details on your iCloud data can be found here:

We hope that clears things up.

Cheers.

I’ve been ignoring on iPhone/iPad/Mac for about 4 weeks now - nothing has happened, just annoying see a notification badge on my settings icon all the time. Love to know what’s causing/when they’ll fix it

Why all of the sudden do I need to, “Confirm iPhone Passcode,” to use iCloud? I’ve never had to verify my passcode before, unless I purchased a new iPhone. This is a terrible idea to have to verify a passcode so many times. Doing so, that often, just opens the door for someone to peek over your shoulder and then have access to your phone. This is absolutely the stupidest idea I’ve heard of. It makes me want to quit using iCloud with its high monthly charge and then update all my files, and photos, to my giant SSD on my home computer.

I am prompted about once a week to “Confirm iPhone Passcode. Confirm your iPhone passcode to keep using iCloud. This passcode also protects access to data stored in iCloud.” It’s been doing this for the past couple months and is quite aggravating. It also happens weekly on my iPad.

Is there a way to stop it from continually prompting me for this? It never used to do this until a couple months ago.

The community specialist says: "Generally, you just need to enter the passcode it's requesting in order to verify your account."

I have tried repeatedly over the course of several weeks to enter the passcode. When I hit "Done" it just locks up. No response at all. Am I missing something here?

You need to log out of iCloud & back in again. Another Apple discussion thread has the method:

Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV or Mac – Apple Support (AU)

** Turn on the 3 selections in the middle of the process to save all your data.

Log back in and the messages are gone.

I have confirm iPad passcode and then I get a verification failed message.

I do not use iCloud.Its not on....Never has been..

This has been happening to me for a month or two but has now ramped up to at least once a day. Have not correlated it to anything I’ve done differently but it seems to be asking more frequently. Wonder what would happen if I ignored it?
