#[SOLVED] iCloud asks to enter verification code

Apple iCloud sends out daily warnings (email) for Home Assistant logging in to iCloud "in a webbrowser". That's just a minor nuisance (and it's documented).
Since the latest upgrade to iOS 18.1, however, it's started warning (a pop-up on the iPhone, roughly once per hour) about a "new" device (HA Green) that's logging in on my behalf, and asks to enter a verification code. How (and where) do I do that, though?

Hm, no replies. The documentation (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/icloud/) doesn't give me clues either; quoting:
"You may receive recurring emails and notifications from Apple stating that someone has logged into your account if the integration is improperly configured. If this occurs, select Don't Allow on your iOS device and reconfigure the Integration Credentials when prompted.
For the notification, press “Allow”, then “OK”."
I don't get prompted to "reconfigure the Integration", whatever that means. All I can do is change the login password, which I'm wary of doing.
Any pointers, anyone?

[SOLVED] The trick was to remember that patience is a virtue. At some point, an error popped up in the HA UI / Integrations. From there, it was a trifle to re-authenticate. Apple iCloud integration works again.

For the docs, I'll suggest to explain for mere humans what "reconfigure the Integration" really means.
