[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1759717, member: 83420"] A warm welcome to Mac-Forums. "From another device" could be a Mac - do you have one? Or an iPad, which you do have - the device must be "trusted" which means, in effect, registered as such with Apple. It doesn't always mean that you have initiated 2 Factor Authentication - although Moderator Sly points out that this is clearly a possibility. It may just be Apple wanting to make sure that the person altering their Passcode on the iPhone is actually "you". In that case, usually, when you unlock your iPad, there should be a message saying something like "another device/iPhone you own has been changed... do you approve this - OK or Cancel". Try that first. This has happened to me before and I never have used 2FA on Apple products. Have a glance at the at the following linked articles. I'm not saying they necessarily apply to you, but they may do: [url]https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=enter+my+iCloud+Security+Code+to+approve+the+iPhone+from+another+device&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=EYc1WfHNEMf38Aegu7XACg[/url] [url]https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202755[/url] [url]https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=How+do+I+get+my+iCloud+security+code%3F&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjvueShkKfUAhWpD8AKHZCqBugQzmcITg&biw=2024&bih=960[/url] [url]https://www.lifewire.com/changing-icloud-keychain-security-code-2259785[/url] Ian [/QUOTE]
