HT201363 multi factor verification code sent to Google Voice number

I'm trying to set up multi factor authentication for my AppleID. I have the verification code sent to my Google Voice number but I never receive the text with the verification code. What's the problem? (I got the code to my other non-GV number.)

I installed Mavericks, set up the iCloud keychain step by step. I was asked to link a phone number to it, and so I gave my Google Voice number. I know some systems don't allow for these kinds of numbers to work, but usually it's a two step verification - You put in your number, they send you a message with a code to verify this is indeed your number and you put in the correct phone number and voila it's linked.
A) It automatically accepted my phone number as is without verifying it
B) I'm not unable to verify my icloud Keychain account on other devices
Now the next step, for some reason I kept having pop-ups from keychain that asked me to put in passwords that over and over again. I couldn't find a solution so I re-installed Maveriks and did a time-machine reinstal. Which means now I can't verify access to iCloud keychain through any device at all. How can I reset everything and put in my real phone number?
I know my itunes/icloud user name and password and the 4 digit lock code for iCloud Keychain.
Appreciate the help!

  • TS4644 Verification code sent to obsolete phone number!

    iCloud when I try to activate keychain all devices, iCloud keeps sending a verification code to a cell phone number to an iPhone that was stolen and deactivated -- and I changed the number in my preferences over 3 weeks ago. Now I can't synch with all of my mac devices. Any suggestions?

    You'll probably have to contact Apple support for assistance if you already changed the number in preferences.

    Because you haven't verified the phone?

  • After upgrade , icloud keychain verification code sent to  1 country code

    After submiting my pass code , its trying to send a verification code as sms. The number is correct but country code showing up is +1 thats US instead of my correct country code. I remember in the past i have received the code correctly .

    Thanks for the correction - the above instructions should read as follows:
    On your iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Enter your Apple ID / iCloud password if you are asked for it.
    Confirm that iCloud Keychain is "on".
    Then, tap Advanced, and confirm that Approve with Security Code is also "on".

  • Google Voice App show Google voice number when dialing out?

    I switched from the iPhone to Android because I can call out of my Android phone and the recipients see my Google Voice number.
    Is this possible with Google Voice for the iPhone?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    So after exhausting countless hours I just added the App "Google Search".  It's not as great of an interface but I can access Google Voice and keep tabs by just checking in every so often.  Better than not having Google Voice at all.

  • HT201324 I am not getting the verification code sent to my device ?

    I am trying to get my iCloud keychain up and running and I do not get the verification code which has to be sent to my phone - the details are all correct I am just missing something.

    Hello Ianpb2908,
    If you are having issues receiving the verification SMS when setting up your iCloud Keychain, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
    If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS
    Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number. 
    On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.

  • My Stream 8 5909 won't accwpt either of the two verification codes sent to me

    At the verification step I did not have a verification code, so I followed the prompts to obtain one and continued on with setting up the unit. A v erification code finally came in on my notebook computer. I entered it and it was not accepted. I requested the verification code again and the second one was also rejected. What Gives?

    Hey @karlhogquist ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you're unable to verify your tablet with Microsoft. 
    The verification process for devices using your Microsoft profile is a bit outside of our realm of support here. Your best bet would be to contact Microsoft support at 1-800-642-7676 or online here: Microsoft - Support
    Also, you can see a guide published by EightForums.com on verifying Windows 8.1 devices here: How to Verify or Recover your Microsoft Account in Windows 8.1

  • Cannot access keychain. Passwords are all correct, "security code" sent to old cellphone number. Impossible to contact apple support.

    I've been trying to access my iCloud's keychain for weeks now. Updating Yosemite somehow made my 13'' Macbook pro "log off" from the keychain and when I try to reconnect to the keychain, I am asked my iCloud password and then my security code, which I both enter successfully.
    Then I am unexplainably asked to enter a "security code" sent to an old cellphone number of mine that is now deactivated. I click on "I don't have access to this number" and I am redirected to Apple's confusing silly-willy contact support website and find out that, since I am in China, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY for me to contact support.
    Bottom line is, even though I have FULL CREDENTIALS to access the entirety of my iCloud's features(my passwords are all correct!!), I am stuck trying to access my keychain because of an unreasonable unsolicited and unwanted "security" measure, combined with a NON-EXISTING costumer support for China.
    Apple is such a huge waste of time, I own an iPhone, a Macbook pro and a magic mouse, but one thing I'm sure of is, I will never ever buy anything else from this company again, because it just PRETENDS to sell the "perfect costumer experience".

  • HT5621 i have forgotten my Apple password and i go to reset it and the server aint servin. I have had a verification code sent to me 3 times and the page or address is no good and i cant get the code to send the verification. In other words i cant get int

    Hey guys, Heres one for you tech guys. It was a false alarm on my password issue. Somehow or another i was going to discuss this issue with this or some other forum. Now ,i aint no hi-tech redneck but i aint stupid either, maybe a little dumb ,but hey. I got to the point where i had to sign in for this disscusion and i thought,CRAP, I cant sign in,i dont know my password. Mind You, I have been dealin with this for a couple of hours and i thought well, 1 more time,  it might as well have been 52 times but, it went thru. I might have typed it wrong a couple of times but i typed it most everytime cuz i knew that was it and it is a perty simple password. Beats me. figure that one out. Glitch in the system maybe? Good Luck,  Bobby Dawg   Goin down low>

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • Two step verification code entry keeps looping in Safari

    I've recently upgraded to a 5S, however when I try to purchase from the app store, it askes me to verify the device, as I have two step verification set up.
    However, it doesn't work.
    I get the verification code sent to my iPad, but when I type it into Safari on either the phone or my iMac, it keeps looping.
    The text is
    "We have sent a temporary verification code to [device name]. Enter the code to continue. Didn't receive a code?"
    When I enter the code, it flickers, then displays the same message.
    Help? I can't set up my 5S, I can't disable two-step through my iMac.
    Suggestions to overcome? (I do not have my Recovery Key either)

    Hi Nate...
    Might be Safari cookies, cache, or extensions.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    No open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
