User level: Level 1 (4 points)Hello. My iphone and my PC keep warning that "some data is not synching" . To solve the issue I am required to "verify my apple account".
I have tried to follow the steps many times without success. It always ends up asking for a code that I set up when I enabled keychain. I never enabled the keychain. If I choose the "forgot the code" I get a warning about loosing all the passwords...
How can I verify my account without this code?

To receive an account verification code, you just need to have two-factor authentication set upon a device or computer that Apple already trusts.

Re: "I have tried to follow the steps many times without success".
Am unsure what method you have been trying ... as you have established, it doesn't work for you. You may need to try something else.
Eg: Check your account details are correct on your iPhone:
Open Settings > [ your name ] > Sign in and Security
Check your details and phone number are correct and up-to-date
If so, you can use them for verification.

If you've tried that already:
Try logging in to your account online at https://account.apple.com/
You will likely receive a verification code ok on your iPhone:

Else: If you forgot the Apple Account password:

What is the exact wording of the message? Does it say what kind of code?

Hello. It asks me for the code I provided when I setup the keychain- which I never did. Going forward, the only option is to reset this code loosing all the information in keychain.
it is like going around in circles and never being able to solve the data sync issue
