Q: I Cloud approval from other device or verification code?

I just upgraded to IOS8 on iPad 3 and iPhone 6. For the I cloud set-up it is asking for an approval from another device or entering a verification code.

1. How to approve from other device? I have an iMac as well. OR

2. If you enter code the message is a verification code will be sent to a phone number (which is my house phone....does not receive texts).

What to do?

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Hi Brad0266,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

From your post it appears that you have enabled two-step verifcation for your Apple ID, which is why it is prompting you to enter in a verification code from a device that you set up. Take a look at the support article linked to below to learn more about two-step verification.

I Did not receive the verification Code sent to my phone Number +2348131541188 and I suggest it is sent to my other number +2348023127952 so that I can conclude the verification please. Thank you.
