how to accept calendar invite

I was sent an invite to join a shared calendar however when I go to accept it it says that "two step verification is enabled for this account. To accept this invitation you can use icloud.com". I receive a verification code but cannot figure out where to enter this in icloud.com. I tried disabling the 2 factor authentication but from what I read I cannot do it (just set up my phone on August 13).


Help please!


Thanks

Hi

I am having exactly the same problem but your answer does not work. If I go to iCloud.com to sign in I only get the option to set up iCloud on this device ..... which I don’t need to do because this is an iPhone & I am signed in already. However when I follow the calendar invite, I get a prompt to sign in, followed by a pop up notification about the sign in, which I allow, then I get shown an authorisation code but there is nowhere to enter the code! I then can’t get any further - just a screen about 2 step authorisation referring me to access iCloud on a desktop or ask for a new invite. Asked for a new invite : same probkems as before. Log in via desktop (Windows) - all fine but cannot see any calendars except my own, and when I go to follow the link from the email on my laptop it says it cannot open the link.


I just want to be able to see the calendar on my phone!

Hi, Cherise!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. From your post, I understand that you're having trouble accepting a shared Calendar event. You've gotten a notification you need to do it from iCloud.com , but aren't sure how to proceed. I'm happy to help!

Head to iCloud.com and type your iCloud Apple ID and password into the request fields. You should be prompted at that point on your iPhone or other trusted device that someone is trying to sign in near your location (or your VPN location if you're using one). Allow this when you see it, and you'll be given a verification code. Go back to iCloud.com and type the verification code after your iCloud password in the password field. So, if your password is Password and your verification code is 123456, you'll type Password123456.

Once you're signed in, iCloud: Reply to a shared iCloud calendar invitation will help you accept the Calendar invitation.

Cheers!
