[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1865443, member: 110816"] I hadn't logged into iCloud on the browser for a long time and when I did so right now, I got a notification on the Mac Mini (which was being used to login), my iPhone XS and Apple Watch at the same time. I chose to use the Apple Watch to authenticate and clicked Allow which got rid of the notification from the phone and Mac and I had the 6 digits on the watch to enter. A Trust Device per Apple are the iPhones, Macs and so on. Since you have a non-iPhone, you're going down the Trusted Phone Number route and SMS to get the code. Technically you shouldn't have to do anything special for this to go down that route, but since you DO have a Trusted Device with your iMac, it might be stopping there as opposed to going down the SMS route since they prefer that more than SMS which is less secure.
