Hi subashrimal,
The message that you're reporting is an expected step that relates to iCloud Keychain data. From the support article Make your passkeys and passwords available on all your devices with iPhone and iCloud Keychain:
"To recover your keychain through iCloud Keychain escrow, authenticate with your Apple ID on a new device, then respond to an SMS sent to a trusted phone number. After you authenticate and respond, you must enter the device passcode. iOS, iPadOS, and macOS allow only 10 attempts to authenticate."
Your device passcode is used as a security measure for iCloud Keychain data so that only you have access to that information and not even Apple can access it. If you are unable to enter the prompted information, you may turn off iCloud Keychain for that device to stop seeing the prompt. Learn where that setting can be found at Set up iCloud Keychain.
Regards.
