Since I upgraded to Ventura, my iPhone asks if I trust this computer

[Howard Brazee]

Every time I reboot my Ventura 13.0 iMac or connect my iPhone, my iOS 16.1 iPhone tells me: "Trust This Computer. Enter passcode to trust this computer and start a backup".

My 16.1 iPad doesn't do this.

I don't see any settings different between the two devices. It happens when plugged into my iPad or using WiFi.

What should I look for that would cause this?

I get that occasionally with Big Sur. I don't worry about it.

 

[Howard Brazee]

It's kind of a pain though.

I have the same issue, iPhone 14 pro max and Ventura. I reset the settings as suggested elsewhere, but that doesn't fix it.

True.

I'm having the same issue--did you ever find a fix?

 

[Howard Brazee]

No fix. Maybe it's a "feature" like having to do two-factor authentication every couple of weeks to connect to
www.icloud.com .

Thanks for the reply. Have you input your passcode? I'm hesitant to do so because it doesn't specify which computer it's asking to trust and the message appears without connecting it to any device. I haven't been able to identify a pattern for when the message appears, it seems random. Concerned this might be a virus.

I do enter my passcode. This used to happen every time, now it doesn't.
