Verification codes come to iPhone but not iPad

Apple sent me a new iPad Pro because the screen on my other iPad Pro was cracked. I transferred everything from old to new. I thought everything would work fine but now If I log onto a site that sends a verification code, it will go to my iPhone but not my iPad. I have gone online and checked all options mentioned but I can’t for the life of me get my iPad to receive verification codes from any websites. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi

Presumably your “verification codes” are arriving as an SMS text message.

Ensure that both your iPhone and iPad are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID. To send or receive SMS/MMS messages with your iPad you must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your new iPad on your iPhone...

On your iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.

Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
