Approve this iPhone pop-ups won't stop on my Macbook

I tried to sign into my Apple ID on one of my old phones yesterday. After several tries I was finally successful signing in. Now, a day later, I am getting "Approve" messages popping up on my macbook every few minutes. I have tried accepting, rejecting and dismissing the messages, but they won't stop. I am getting 2-3 messages at a time, and every few minutes, all day.


An earlier thread on this topic suggested turning the apple keychain off and on. This does not seem like an acceptable answer -- it papers over an obvious bug, and puts extra work on the user.


Is there a planned fix for this bug?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

You don't say anything about the model phone and the system version it is running.


Even assuming it is a "bug", Apple tends to not update software for anything but the current and one previous system versions unless it is a security risk (and even then they don't go back too far).


By the way, nobody on this forum works for Apple so we can't speak with any real authority as to what they do, other than what we notice in using their stuff for years.
