When signing in to Apple ID to acces this forum on my own laptop, I'm met with the warning that 'someone' ios trrying to use my Apple ID, depsite it being the smae device!
Once I hit 'Allow' I'm then given a 6 digit code to input... again on the same device I'm signing in on!
What's going on? Pretty pointless excercise if my laptop qwas in the wrong hands!
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
Hmm..., likely a foible of Two-factor authentication for Apple ID
I am less familiar with its use on computers but it should require a second device. I am wonder if something about the configuration of your device (do you have multiple user accounts using the same ID?) is confusing it.
Maybe worth sending Apple feedback. Click on this link for Apple products feedback links --> Product Feedback - Apple
