I now have access to my I cloud account using Windows and Chrome. It
took about 2 hours. Many fustrations and the need to send of
verification codes to verify the eMail address, alternate phone number
and the Iphone (for texting).
When I started, using Windows and Chrome, The verification screen was
presented. There were the 6 edit fields, 1 for each digit of the
verification number. After the 6^th digit was pressed, the focus jumped
to the 1^st digit field and all fields were blank. With a few attempts,
it was always announced as an incorrect verification number.
I suspected the password and it’s relation to the eMail address.So I
tried to change the password.
first, using the Iphone setup. Double tapping my name and eventually
getting to the screen to change the password. Each password used was
announced as weak. So I switched to the I cloud site.
The audio challenge was needed to change the password. The I cloud site
passed control to the Iphone. which I had to tap “allow”. The remaining
steps were done on the Iphone.
This 2^nd attempt successfully changed the password. The password I
chose was the very same one I tried in my first attempt going through
the Iphone’s settings.
Is there a way to access the I cloud account with the Iphone?
I could only find I cloud in the Iphone’s settings.
Thanks for your suggestions, they spurred me on to keep trying.

I just tried it on my Windows 11 computer with both Chrome and Edge
and had no issues. After I entered my Apple Id and password, Jaws
focus was automatically in the first field of the 6 numbers, the
message with the code popped up on my phone and I entered it without
difficulties. The important thing to note is that as soon as you enter
the first number, focus will jump to the next field and if you end up
entering the number and pressing tab, you are skipping fields and it
will not work. I usually review the number on my iPhone and memorize
it, then I turn on NumLock on my computer and use the numeric pad to
enter the six numbers. As I said, after each number you enter focus
goes to the next box and after you enter the last number and as long
as you entered them correctly, you will be logged in and in my case I
was asked if I wanted to trust this browser which if I said Yes, I
would not be prompted for 2-factor authentication next time I log in
with that computer and browser.
I also deliberately entered the number incorrectly to see what happens
and each time Jaws announced it was incorrect and focus again
automatically jumped to the first number field. I did this twice with
the same result and then I entered it correctly and I was logged into
the iCloud website. I assume there is a limited number of attempts you
are allowed for incorrect entries before it locks you out and you then
may have to do something more elaborate to authenticate yourself.

That 6 digit code entry can be annoying. Generally, once you do it
though you won’t need to repeat the process.
As you indicated there are 6 fields. I would make sure you are on the
first one, and then just behave as though it is one contiguous text
field. It might be helpful to turn off the virtual cursor while
entering the number, but I don’t believe that is necessary. (I haven’t
done this process since 2017). Once all 6 numbers are entered then it
automatically submits the numbers for validation, so don’t look for a
submit button or press the enter key.

Hello,
I’m trying to access my I cloud accound using Windows 11 and Chrome.
On my iPhone 14, I have a passcode. I thought that it would get me
into my I cloud account from any device.
Using the web site icloud.com <http://icloud.com>, I enter my
eMail and password and a 6 digit access code is sent to my phone.
The problem is trying to enter the number into the 6 edit fields
provided. When pressing each key, the number is announced. The
cursor jumps to the next digit field until I get to the last field.
Nothing happens. On reviewing the fields, they are empty. I keep
hearing “invalid”.
I know that my eMail address and password are correct since I’m
sent the access code.
I used Jaws and NVDA and both Chrome and Firefox.
When signing in, choosing the Forgot password link, requires the
image test.
The audio challenge does not work for me.
Is it possible to use the passcode to access my I cloud account
through Windows?
In the iPhone settings, I know where to change the passcode or
turn it on or off.
The 2-factor authentication is on and I tried to turn it off but
there is something about having a key. I'm confused.
Any suggestions?
