how can i remove my device from icloud

Hello,


I have only one Apple device, and I set it as a trusted device for my Apple ID. Now, I’d like to remove this device, but I don’t see any option to remove it from icloud.


Is there a way to remove my only trusted device, or do I need to use another method?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7

You may want to add a trusted phone number to your Apple Account before you remove your only trusted device from it.


Given that the error message says "To remove a device from your account, use one of your Apple devices that is signed in with this account …", it sounds like you need to log out of your Apple Account n the MacBook Pro itself.
