iPhone 15 Pro Max Account Recovery Method nag?

[donawalt]

About a week ago I was prompted on my iPhone (17.0.3) to add an Account Recovery code/contact - I added a code. I didn't think much of it, as it had been a long time since I added one.

This morning, my iPhone, iPad (17.0.3) and my iPad ALL have notices saying to add an Account Recovery code/contact. I added one on my iPhone after doing some Googling and seeing the procedures are pretty onerous to get rid of that erroneous message (sign out of iCloud, which I think will require repopulating all my iCloud data on the device when I sign back in).

However, even after adding 1 to my iPhone, my iPad and Mac still are asking even though I restarted them.

Anyone else seeing this? I assume it's a bug? Any easy fix? Thanks!

Yeah, I'm seeing it too. I'm just ignoring it for now, if it's not cleared up by v17.1 then I'll fiddle with it.

This notification doesn't even seem to work correctly. When I entered a recovery key generated on my Mac about 6 months ago, I get a message saying that it's incorrect. Re-generating a new one doesn't help.

Looks pretty messy. I hope these recovery codes work for their intended purpose.
