Before I upgraded to Big Sur, 2-step authorization codes came in as text messages on my iPhone, and a small window came up on both my iMac and my MacBook Air with the code, which allowed 1-click transfer of the code. Now that I've upgraded, I've lost that additional window on my iMac and MacBook Air, so now I need my iPhone with me to copy the code manually. How do I get those authorization code windows back on the iMac and MacBook Air?

I thought this problem might be a syncing issue with iCloud, but everything else seems to be syncing OK, as before, including messages--except for authorization codes. They appear only on my iPhone.

How do I get those code windows back?
 
Strangely before updating to Big Sur, text message codes never showed up this way, however after the update I'm getting them.
