Hello,

When I have to log in to iCloud.com on my iMac 24 I get the verification code... on the iMac.

This doesn't make sense.

What if I'm not the one logging in?

iMac 24″, macOS 13.4

When you log in on a device that has not been logged in before, Apple will send a verification code to all your other devices that have been logged in before and are "trusted". Ergo, if your Mac is receiving a code it is trusted and should not need for you to enter a code since it is already known as being trusted.

You might want to ask Apple about this.


Refer to this document for ways to contact Apple ➞ Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support

Select your country (also look for "other" regions), then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
