Anything different with 2-factor authentication?

Trying to send an iMessages, animated emoji or digital touch to myself with no luck. Do we have to do something with 2-factor authentication?

Yep, you need to generate an App specific password: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1873347/

Thanks for that. Interesting. Although, when I setup the watch, I got the notification to send me a code. I may try unpinning and re-pairing before I try your trick. Good work with that. Thanks again.

If you're talking about the 4 digit code, that's just a code to lock the Watch to prevent use when it's off your wrist.

Nope. I'm sure it was when I was in the iCloud setup. But, I'll do unpair and re-pair.
