Has "Get Verification Code" been moved or deprecated? - 2 factor authentication

I am not remember this support article reading any differently as regards to getting a verification code, and certainly not simply because you want to request one. One is requested when you sign in on a new device.

Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support

Yeah the option used to exist there, and the support document used to have a section for it, but it has since been removed from both places.

Seems it's no longer supported.

From the WayBack Machine:

If you have an older device logged in to your Apple Account that is running early versions of iOS like iOS 16 or 17, the option should still be there.

Yes, it used to be an option in Settings where any trusted device could self-generate a verification code for another device joining onto the same Apple Account.

It was well-described in the KB as well.

Apple indeed seems to have deprecated that option; presumably as part of their ongoing efforts to “tighten-up” security.

FWIW, it was already “not available” for those using Hardware Security Keys for their Apple Account.

Re: “… If you have an older device … [running] early versions of iOS … the option should still be there … “

Indeed it IS.

Screenshot below is of an iPhone 6s running the “most current version” of iOS 15 today.

I always thought it was a useful feature as it allowed a user to generate a Verification Code even when his/her device was completely disconnected from any network. (i.e. in total “radio silence”)
