Avoiding phone for two factor
authentification
iPad, iPadOS 17
Two factor authentication uses a trusted device or phone number only. See more about options to get a verification code at Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support
The specific worry that I have concerns travel abroad where my phone has no service. Using my phone number will not connect to my phone and therefore using the phone will not work, but email would work. Can that be arranged?
It cannot. If your phone is a trusted device and connected to WiFi you’d get the verification code as a pop up on the phone.
