    when i go to my account page, i can see everything and all aspects numbers address etc of my account and info "verified"

    its this two step verification where i can't sign into iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime  on my MBP

    could an adblocker be interfering??

    also i'm using private mode in safari

     

     

    i tried using regular browser window didn't help

    CALLED ?   SUPPORT HERE IS THE SOLUTION

     

    the 4 digit code was not the app specific code for the iMessage or FaceTime 

    it basically confirmed me to get  access to my account

     

    then in my account page

    security and password> scroll down to the bottom> create app specific  code

     

    this very long code is created>copy  then     paste to the login for the iMessage and facetime

     

    bingo---it worked
