I'm trying to set up a recovery key on my iPhone X. Whenever I generate it and it asks me to type it in I get "Verification failed - Your recovery key is incorrect" no matter how many times I type it or generate new keys.
iPhone X, iOS 11.1, null
Oh, recovery key, not recovery code. Yes, recovery key is something used in Apple’s world.
You don’t get to “set up a recovery key.” You are told what the key is.
Read the article I attached above thoroughly and carefully.
Two possible issues that come quickly to mind:
I'm told what the key is. Then it asks me to enter it. And no matter how many times I type it it still says "Verification failed".
I read the article. It's asking to input the key and there's clearly a bug preventing it from entering.
Please explain exactly what “recovery code” means. This is not a common term in Apple parlance.
Recovery key is part of Apple's two-factor authentication. Settings -> [User] -> Password & Security -> Recovery Key.
Setting up recovery key keeps saying incorrect.
