Verification code pop up on ipad keyboard I replaced an older ipad pro with a new one. I have 2 ipad pros. I set up the new one using a back up of my existing ipad pro. I set up iMessages to be forwarded to new gen 4 ipad pro. It is sending and receiving all the messages just fine. Both ipads are in sync with my iphone Messages. All are running version 17.4.1. All have enabled "delete after use" (Settings -> passwords -> verification code options ) The problem: When I need to request a verfication code (safari browser) on the new ipad, the verification code is not popping up on the new ipad's keyboard or above the open Safari page. My old ipad pro and my iphone both both show the "received" verification code when i am on the Safari page. I tap the code and it gets entered into the safari browers field. On the new ipad, i have to leave Safari, copy the code from iMessages and then return to Safari and past it in. It instantly is received by iMessage but it never "pops up" as a displayed code when I am waiting for it in Safari. I am i missing some Setting to enable the code to pop up while in Safari?
