Send verification codes in Apple School Manager
Verification codes are six-digit codes dynamically created so users who require additional verification can sign in to Apple School Manager and use their Managed Apple ID account.
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 account password. This enhances the security of Apple School Manager.
Student accounts that are not associated with a Mac or iPad listed in Apple School Manager require a six-digit verification code along with their Managed Apple ID account password. This verification code for students expires after one year.
You can send students verification codes so they can use their Managed Apple ID to sign in to iCloud (using Safari), to the iCloud preferences pane (on a Mac), or to an iPad (with Shared iPad).
