Signing into iCloud without an Apple device I have an iCloud account and an Apple account. Currently, I use iCloud on my windows laptop to collaborate on a work project. I have an Android phone. When I try to sign into my iCloud account on my laptop I get this message: "Verification failed: To access your end-to-end encrypted data including passwords and other features, sign into an Apple device to receive a verification code." I can only press "OK" afterwards. Since I do not have an Apple device, how do I sign into my iCloud account? How do I receive a verification code? There must be some other way to receive the verification code. Thank you for your help!

Windows 11 PC - iCloud Verification Issue I can sign into the Windows Store version of iCloud in Windows 11. I get the pop-up asking for the code. The verification screen then briefly flashes across all my iOS devices but not long enough for me to press "Allow" and then it disappears so I have to get a code texted to me to sign in. Once that occurs the iCloud screen comes up on my PC but with the Password section "grayed" out and the "Approval" button shows. Click on that and I get the brief flash across devices again and cannot approve Passwords. I've tried everything. Repair/reset, Signing out on all devices and iCloud as well. Reinstalling. All devices are running the latest version/build. Nothing has worked. Was on Apple support chatting/on phone 3 separate times and their conclusion was that it's a Microsoft issue. Anyone else see this or have a solution? Really didn't see much in the Microsoft community...
