[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1800879, member: 376394"] The ONLY reason it gets sent to all of those devices is because they are “trusted devices” you told Apple to trust. You would need to remove those devices from your trusted devices list in your iCloud settings, then the code would only go to the device you selected AND you would need to trust the devices each time if/when you remove them. If someone else tried to use your logon, for iCloud, you would get the notification, that is what is designed to stop. If you leave you phone some where and it is unlocked, Apple can not prevent them getting the code, since they have your “trusted device”. If your iMac is your only trusted device, then you will have to go home to get the code. [/QUOTE]
