I broke my old iPhone and the screen is smashed so I can’t get any access to it. I’m trying to finish setting up my apple id settings. (Keep getting a notification on the screen asking me to do this)
as I can’t access another device I get this message:
if you can’t approve this iPhone from another device, you can reset your end to end encrypted data to finish setting up iCloud.
If I follow this instruction and say I can’t approve what will happen?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks.
If you don't have access to another device, following the prompt you shared will be your next best step. By doing that, you'll be able to reset your iCloud Keychain and create a new one.If you can access an approved device that uses your iCloud Keychain
You can create a new iCloud Security Code from another device that also uses your iCloud Keychain.
On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
- Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud.
- Tap Change Security Code.
- Enter your Apple ID password when asked.
- Enter a new iCloud Security Code.
On a Mac with OS X Yosemite or later:
- Choose Apple
menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
- Click Options next to Keychain.
- Click Change Security Code and enter a new iCloud Security Code.
On the device where iCloud Keychain was disabled, create a new iCloud Keychain that contains the username, passwords, and other keychain items from the device:
- On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain and turn on iCloud Keychain. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud.
- On your Mac: Choose Apple
An approval notification appears on the device that you used to create the new iCloud Security Code. Approve to add the new iCloud Keychain to your device.
