[BUG] Login doesn't work any more - Passkey issue?

[christian2022]

Describe the bug
Since February my icloud-drive container cannot login any more and sync files. I don't get requests on my mobile, when reauthenticating and it stops at enter 6-digit code. I assume it's related to changes in the login procedure as when I login with the browser on icloud.com I need select passkey and scan a QR code with my mobile.

To Reproduce
Login on icloud.com, no request to confirm login on trusted devices pops up and therefore no 6 digit key provided.

Expected behavior
Authentication works

same here... the request is no more appearing on any apple device.

I also have this exact issue setting up a new iCloud container or using an alternative iCloud-pd container same behavior. Completely broken for some time. I'm using this is an iCloud.py issue?

I have the same issue. MFA is broken. After logging in the code will not appear on my apple devices.

[christian2022]

For me it would be sufficient if the QR code would be displayed on the console when authenticating or sent via email/notification. Anyway I don't store my password in the keyring.

If on iOS 26.4, from one of the other iCloud sync docker images (all have an active/current) MFA issue, someone commented that if you put your iPhone in airplane mode you can get a code at Settings > Apple Account > Sign-In & Security. You'll get a pop-up Account Details Unavailable with a Get Verification Code button. I successfully used that code just now to log in.

That does not fix this issue, but for now, you can use this as a workaround.

@rowdynl Thanks that seems to work. Although I only got the popup on one of my devices, when Personal Data, Payments and Abonnements became disabled.

@mandarons any idea when this bug will be fixed? :)

[nicx]

@mandarons anything? the workaround is not working for me... I am using 4 different instances, one for every family member.

Same here sadly the workaround is not helping for my two instances. Looking forward to a fix, if fixing this is possible.

[christian2022]

@nicx @walk0080 What exactly is not working?

[nicx]

@christian2022 I have the exact same issue as you described in the first post. And as I do not have access to the device of some family members, the workaround is not really helping.

[nicx]

@mandarons Is the project dead? That would be a real shame. :(

found a similar problem in rclone: rclone/rclone#9359
@mandarons maybe the fix they found helps here, too.
