With two-factor authentication, you are required to enter a verification code when you first sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or on the web. You can get the verification code automatically on your phone. But how to get Apple ID verification without phone if you don't bring your phone? In this article, you will learn what to do.

Part 1. How Can I Get Apple ID Verification Code without Phone?
If two-factor authentication is turned on for your Apple ID, you'll need to enter a verification code when signing in on a new device or browser. So, what can you do if you don't have access to your phone? In that case, you can still get the code from a trusted Apple device. In the next part, we'll show you how to find it step by step.
Part 2. How to Get Apple ID Verification Code without Phone
If you can't access the phone number connected to your Apple ID, you may still be able to get a verification code from a trusted device. A trusted device is an Apple device where you're already signed in with the same Apple ID and that can receive verification codes.
So, if you have another iPhone, iPad, or Mac signed in to the same Apple ID, you can use it to get the verification code either automatically or manually. We'll walk you through both methods below.
Option 1. Get Apple ID Verification Automatically on Trusted Apple Devices
Note:
A trusted device should run iOS 9 or later, OS X El Capitan or later, iPadOS 13 or later, or watchOS 6 or later.
If you have a trusted Apple device, then when you are trying to log in to the Apple ID on a new device, the verification code will pop up automatically. When you receive an Apple ID login request on your trusted device, choose Allow to get the verification passcode.
If you don't see the verification code on your trusted device, tap Didn't get code? > Resend code to devices to let Apple resend the verification code to your trusted devices.
Note:
There may happens that you are unable to receive the Apple ID verification code. Here are some fixes that may help.
Option 2. Get Apple ID Verification Code Manually on Trusted Apple Devices
If the verification code doesn't appear automatically, you can also generate it manually in the Settings app on a trusted device.
On iPhone or iPad
Step 1. Locate Settings of your trusted device and tap your Apple ID name.
Step 2. Tap Sign-In & Security and scroll down to tap Get Verification Code.
On Mac
Step 1. Head to Apple menu > System Settings on your Mac.
Step 2. In the System Settings, click your Apple ID name.
Step 3. Select Password & Security, then click Get a Verification Code.
Part 3. How to Get Apple ID Verification Code with Phone
If your trusted device is not with you, you can have a verification code sent to your trusted phone number as a text message or phone call. So, it is important to remember your phone number that is used for your Apple ID. Here's how to get a verification code from Apple via text or phone call.
Step 1. Click on Can't get to your device? or Didn't Get a Code? on the Two-Factor Authentication screen.
Step 2. You can choose Text code to [phone number] or Get a call at [phone number] to receive the verification code.
Step 3. Then enter the verification code you received via text message or phone call to log in.
