Cannot Approve Windows Device for iCloud Passwords

Approve option doesnt enable. Keep in loop asking mfa over and over....


After few digging, found a thread on reddit pointing to some broadcast between mac device and windows to complete approval process.

To make this work i:

1st: disabled windows firewall on all network types(Domain, Public, Private). If you have another firewall or vpn connected might also disable.

2nd: connected windows and mac device on exact same network. In my case both devices cabled on same network switch.

3rd: clicked approve on windows and approved and typed mac provided mfa code.

4th: Bingo!!! Able to activate and install chrome and edge extensions.

5th: enabled firewall back

I hope this help!
