Except the 2FA is kinda stupid.

I have devices logged into my iCloud account at a datacenter, that end up getting my 2FA for my other devices.

I have a iPhone, iPad, Macbook, do you think any device I actually use all the time gets the 2FA code ?

Sometimes, the same computer i’m using to login gets the code which is kinda pointless.

I have to always use SMS to get my code because of this.

Every single device on your iCloud account gets the 2FA prompt. You then choose which device you want to confirm the request on. The prompt does not go to just a single device, but every single device on said iCloud account.
