Ok so with 2 step verification. On the trusted devices page it comes up with a list of devices and whether or not they have been verified. How can I remove the devices that haven't been verified yet? The verified devices have remove on the right of the device name, the ones that have not been verified don't have a remove button.

https://appleid.apple.com

Login where it has "Manage your Apple ID". Under "Password & Security", click "Add or remove trusted devices". That's where the device list lives.

yes i am aware of this. In this section, next to the devices that have not been verified, there is no remove button, is there another way to remove them?
 
Nope, not that I know.

Why would you want to do this anyway? On mine I have my iPhone and iPad and even if I wouldn't use my ipad as a trusted device (I actually do use it) I might do in the future. Also if i loose my iPhone I can log using the recovery key and add a new device until I get my iPhone back or get a new telephone number.

cause on the list it somehow has 3 iPads and 2 iPhones that have not been verified, yet I've only ever owned 1 iPhone and 1 iPad and they have both been verified and are on the list as verified...
 
I had this problem, phoned apple support and it was escalated to engineering.. However there is a very simple fix.

Turn two step verification off and on again, it will reset the trusted devices list :)
 
is there any way to get my MBP on the trusted device list? it is mobile but yet i don't see it listed

Will have to try this when I get home. If it works, thanks for your help :D
