I recently had the same issue. The verification code was going to my Apple Watch and I could not retrieve the code from that device. I ended up shutting off my watch and then the code came to my iPhone and I was able to activate iCloud.
Give that a shot.

You may not have a choice any longer to use that. Call Apple Accessibility, and ask them about Two Factor Authentication and if there is a way to turn it off, or have them explain how to use it if your only other device is an Apple Watch.

Due to some problem that wasn't really explained, I got a replacement phone for the cost of the battery. Ever since then, about every other day, a message pops up on my phone that says, "Approval Request Sent". It says to continue using iCloud on my phone, I need to do something or other with another Apple device, or type in some sort of code. The only other Apple device I have is an Apple Watch. I know nothing at all about any code that would resolve this problem. Apple Accessibility was no help, because when I left the "approval request sent" message on the screen, I could not accept a screenshare request from the representative I was speaking with. I would appreciate any suggestions. Kathy Blackburn kblac...@austin.rr.com -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
