(An iPhone or iPad can only be associated with a single Apple ID for iCloud on a Mac, each account can have a separate iCloud-associated Apple ID, but they’re only active when you’re logged into that Mac account.) I’ve recommended using a secondary account on a Mac that has its iCloud account set to be your purchasing Apple ID. In that scenario, you need to re-associate a trusted device with the account so you don’t unintentionally lose access when deleting a trusted phone number. I’ve recommended this as a way of dealing with Apple IDs used solely for purchasing media and apps, something many of us wound up with if we used Apple’s systems for a long time, as purchasing and cloud-based systems once used separate accounts. You may have set up two-factor authentication for an Apple ID account you don’t have logged into an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. If you don’t receive the Allow/Don’t Allow prompt on any device, you should troubleshoot why that is.

It always requires a second-factor code to access your account details if you don’t used a stored identity in versions of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS and Safari that support that. You can test whether you have trusted devices associated properly by attempting to log into the Apple ID website. When logging into your Apple ID in various places, you should receive an alert on your trusted devices.
