Add or reset verification phone numbers in Apple School Manager
Any users with a role of Administrator, any Manager, Staff or Instructor all require a six-digit verification code along with their Managed Apple ID password. This verification code, which is sent to a phone number associated with the user account, enhances the security of Apple School Manager.
New verification codes are required every 30 days.
When to add a verification phone number
For users having either an Administrator role or a Manager role (for example, Content Manager), you may want to add more than one verification phone number.
Note: Each phone number receives a code that must be entered to verify that specific number. Have all the phones nearby so the codes can be entered.
When to reset a verification phone number
If the user changes phone numbers, you should reset the user account to ask for a new phone number. Accounts that have identical privileges or lesser privileges can be reset only by you.
Add a verification phone number
Go to the Apple ID website and sign in with your Managed Apple ID.
Tap Security.
Tap “Add a trusted phone number”, enter the phone number, select Text Message or Phone Call, then tap Continue.
Enter the six-digit code, then tap Verify.
