I am having the same issue and I can't imagine it is related to my phone carrier (AT&T). I've been with them for years and it was only AFTER I updated to Ventura 13.4 that I no longer get those verification codes/authentication codes on my Mac. They arrive only on my cell phone, but previously they would appear on my MacAir messages and I didn't even need to enter the code. I could simply click on it to copy/paste into the field.
  • On your phone, go to Settings/Messages/Text Message Forwarding and make sure your Mac is turned on.
  • Then go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud and make sure Messages is turned on.
  • On your Mac open Messages, Messages menu, Settings, iMessage, Enable Messages in iCloud

Generally, those verification codes are sent using Short Code Text Messaging. These short code text messages are received from a 5 or 6 digit phone number. This capability/feature is provided and managed by your carrier. I recommend that you contact your carrier and tell them about not receiving verification codes which may be sent over short code messaging service. Their support team should be able to address this for you and find a resolution.
