Keep receiving request for authentication code 1st I keep receiving a request for verification code in another device. The message doesn't tell me which device it is. I do not have any apple phone or pad but I have and use 6 Macintosh machines with different systems up till Mojave. This request is very annoying as it interfere with other verification such as Paypal, my Bank, and a variety of other apps or sites. I do not have a specific space with all my machines on and around me. I am 82 years old and I need to run up and down my home open machines and search for this code to enter. At times entering it asks to confirm from another one. While Apple intention might be good what isn't good is the “obligation" to do it. After all if I decide to risk it's my business, and the risks are mine. What to do? Apple tells me that once I enabled the verification it can't be removed. So what do I do? 2nd I do not want to go into Catralina and further. Again these systems offer option and facilities but I am happy with what I have. Also Upgrading to Catalina and further I will not be able to use a variety of applications, read files created with them as they are not working with Catalina and allothers. As soon as I open my Mojave in the MACPRO 2013 a message appears asking me to restart the computer as upgrades need to be installed. There is also a large button to install MONTEREY. It's easy to click on this button by mistake for one million reasons, errors, phone ringing, need to do something else and more. How can I stop this? My little nephew, playing with my Mac installed it already once when I wasn't around, and I had to fully erase the computer loosing files, work I had done, pages of text and so on. While I backup my machine weekly I lost so much stuff .... I am fully aware Apple is a business and this message is just a marketing device they need to forces me to purchase a newer machine or an Apple phone or pad, but I don't want to do it. Is there a terminal way to stop this message to appear the moment I open the computer? Thanks and I hope someone has a reply.
