Hi there


Please try this


Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Tap your name (Apple Account), then select Sign-In & Security.

Tap Two-Factor Authentication, then tap Security Keys.

Tap Add Security Keys and follow the on-screen prompts.

Enter your iPhone passcode.

Hold your first security key near the top of your iPhone (for NFC-enabled keys) or plug it into the device port, then follow the steps to name and register it.

Repeat the process to add and name your mandatory second backup key.
