With two-factor authentication, you’ll need a verification code to sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or browser.
Whenever yousign in with yourApple IDon a new device or browser, you'll confirm your identity with your password plus a six-digit verification code. There are a fewways you can get a verification code. You can use the code displayed on your trusted device, get a text or phone call, or generate a code from your trusted device.
If you use iOS 11.3 or later on your iPhone, you might not need to enter a verification code. In some cases, your trusted phone number can be automatically verified in the background on your iPhone. It’s one less thing to do, and your account is still protected with two-factor authentication.

*The notification might include a map of the approximate location of the sign-in attempt. This location is based on the new device's IP address and might reflect the network that it's connected to, rather than the exact physical location. If you know that you're the person trying to sign in but don't recognize the location, you can still tap Allow and view the verification code.
