Premise
In order to increase the safety of your iPhone, Apple proposes a system of two-step verification which allows the user to access their account by confirming from a second secure device, as well as entering the login credentials (email e Password). In this case, you can take advantage of two solutions: use another iPhone, iPad or Mac with the same Apple ID configured or same iPhone you want to access.
Approve an iPhone from another device
In case you are the owner of a second product Apple (it's a iPad or Mac) and you are logged in with the same account, just follow the instructions below:
- After entering your login credentials on your iPhone, a notice showing one small map containing the approximate location where you logged in. If you recognize yourself in this, just press the button Allow.
- In the next step, a Numerical code to type oniPhone using the virtual keyboard.
- After pressing the appropriate button, you will automatically enter the account.
Approve an iPhone from the same
If you are the owner of a second product of the Cupertino giant, you will not be able to take advantage of the confirmation on the other terminal (therefore neither receive the warning nor see the map appear on the screen). However, Apple will send you a SMS or vi will call on the number used when creating theApple ID. This procedure can also be used if you do not receive any notification on the other device in possession.
Having said that, let's see how to proceed:
- From the notice that appears on theiPhone, identified and tapped on the item Didn't receive the verification code? and then choose whether to get the code away SMS or through a call.
- After receiving it, write it down somewhere and enter it in the appropriate field always on theiPhone.

If you are unable to access your iPhone by any of the above methods, we recommend that you contact the customer service of Apple using one of the solutions that we propose in our dedicated guide that you can find linked below.
