Hello
I'm having trouble logging into my icloud account. When I enter all the data and want to log in,
it always asks me to enter the code that comes to the phone number. Recently I got a message that
too many codes were sent to my phone number and I can't log in. Please help
It is sending a code to your trusted device or trusted telephone number which you then need to enter into the device into which you are trying to sign in. If you aren't receiving them then verify you are using a trusted device or number. You can only enter a code request a certain number of times before you have to wait until Apple will let you try again.
