[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1800868, member: 204485"] I get what you are saying about getting the code sent to the same device you are using although that has only happened with my MBP. At first I was confused because the window with the confirmation code covered the window where the number needed to be entered but that's another matter. Yesterday however I realized how it is supposed to work. I have Family Sharing turned on for my wife and I was attempting to download an app to my wife's MBP that I had already purchased for mine. So i logged in on her device with my Apple ID and I was asked to confirm this download on one of my devices. So I went to my MBP got the displayed code and entered it on her MBP in the box that had appeared. I could have gotten the code off my iPhone too. This is obviously the way the 2FA system works to protect your privacy and purchases. [/QUOTE]
