If you don’t have a trusted device handy, you can choose to have a verification code sent to your trusted phone number as a text message or phone call.
1. Select “Didn’t Get a Code?” or “Can’t get to your devices?” on the verification code screen.
2. Choose a telephone number for where to receive a code.
3. You'll get a text message or phone call from Apple with your verification code. This text message might include an additional domain validation line. This line includes the @ symbol, the website name, and your code (for example: @icloud.com #123456 %apple.com).
4. Enter the code on your other device to complete sign in.
It is a good idea to have more than one trusted number.
