Missed 2FA won't let me use command line...? #469
Description
Not an engineer so be gentle:
- My developer AppleID is an iCloud account.
- My account is invited as a member to my managed work "entity" and "team ID".
- I can login fine to my iCloud account on my devices, on
icloud.com, and ondeveloper.apple.comwith my username and password. - When I log in to these places, it requires a 2FA code.
- Nothing is pending or unconfigured as far as I can tell on
developer.apple.com. - When I try to use
xcodesvia command line, I am prompted to enter my username and password. - I am NOT prompted to enter a 2FA code.
- I get this error:
Invalid username and password combination. Attempted to sign in with username [username]@icloud.com.
Try entering your password again
Apple ID Password ([username]@icloud.com):

This essentially blocks me from using this tool as far as I can tell

I use a Yubikey for 2FA as Passkey doesnt work yet. I get a PIN dialog but tapping causes an error during the 2FA auth.

I just came here and hoped for an update, but even though the issue is still open, it was resolved and you can finally use xcodes with a managed account 🙌
XCODES_USERNAME="you@yourcompany.com" xcodes install --latest
