Hi , how I can approve my I phone ?

KFANT93 - THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I deleted the keychain and then went back in. Fingers crossed that this worked...

iphone stuck in waiting for approval

Do you have 2 Factor Authentication turned on? See the article below which covers how to gerenate a code.

Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support

See if this works --

1. Turn off iCloud Keychain if it’s on on all of your devices.
2. From one of your iOS devices, go to Keychain and tap Approve with Security Code.
3. When prompted for the 4-digit iCloud Security code tap Forgot Code.
4. Follow the prompts to reset the code (the easiest thing is to use the same code that you use for the device you’re on).
5. Now this device should have iCloud Keychain enabled and working.
6. Now from your other devices, enable iCloud Keychain.
7. You should get a notification on the working device about this.
8. Enter your iCloud password in the prompt.
9. iCloud Keychain should now be enabled on this device.
10. Repeat for your other devices.

Same problem. I am signed in on icloud and apple id. it sends a code to my "unverified phone" for me to do two factor auth to get into my account on my comp. totally stupid. then it shows the phone(s) on my account, but there is no link or button or anywhere to "approve this phone". just the phone and all its stats. I fear the only way to fix this is to "reset all data" which im not doing since i have 4 phones. I can live with the red "1" update button but the constant lock screen alerts to "authorize this phone" are going to make me smash it with a hammer and buy an android.

I called Apple and spent 2 hours with them. You guess, they do not know the answer. A guy called Robert claimed that I could not do it because I changed my password in 2 hours and I have to wait for 24 hours in order to use another IPhone to approve my IPhone. It turned out it's ********. I tried again today, after 24 hours, I had the same issue. Is it funny? APPLE does not know its own ****.

I have to accept reset my protected data to get rid of this approve request. Very SAD!

I have had it with this... read every remedy and tried all but the reset. Surely I should not have to reset my bloody phone! Apple seems to be going down hill.

So many issues with the new phones etc. and never any answers

First the issue with the "I" changing to the silly symbol and now this.

HOW DO I APPROVE MY PHONE ON ANOTHER DEVICE. I HAVE A LAPTOP TO USE. HOW DO I APPROVE IT?

NEED HELP WITH THIS. I WANT MESSAGE TO GO AWAY THAT "I NEED TO APPROVE I PHONE" WHAT THE **** DOES THIS MEAN?

This is ridiculous. I don't have time to keep doing this. I am in Sales and it affects everything that I do. I can't get in. I spend every night working on this and have to sign in and re-sign in. ***. I just want access to my cloud and my work information. Gone way to techy for me and no people support. People are the difference- you can change and update all the software. But, when there is a bug... you can't reach Apple. The employees are driving to their Silicon Valley Happy Hour.
