User level: Level 1 (12 points)I needed to unlock my account and we went through the usual steps including the 2FA code which was "sent to my Mac". I don't know where to find the code that is sent so I can't give Apple the 6 digit code. Where do I find that code? Thanks.

Re: “… I needed to unlock my account…”
The code will only be displayed on devices which are logged-on to the Apple Account and “online.”

It is sent as a notification, just like it does on a Windows pc, it pops up on your screen.
