Verification Codes different on Watch and Phone
I am getting verification codes on both my phone and watch. They are both different and neither of them work. Never had this problem before. Help!

If you are receiving verification codes on both your iPhone and Apple Watch, but the codes are different and neither one works, it is likely because you have requested multiple verification codes within a short period.
Each verification or authentication code is valid only for a limited time. When a new code is generated, the previous one may expire immediately or become invalid. Trying to enter an older code can result in a failure even if it was received correctly.
Wait for some time before requesting another code. Ideally, wait at least one hour, then request a fresh verification code and use only the latest one received.
This applies to all verification and authentication codes, including Apple ID sign-in codes, banking app OTPs, and other two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. Avoid repeatedly requesting codes, as multiple attempts can sometimes trigger temporary security restrictions.
