Are Recovery Keys on iOS Broken?


iOS 16.2 is out which allows you to use Advanced Data Protection for iCloud but I am having issues setting up a Recovery Key. I keep getting “Verification Failed - Your recovery key is incorrect.” I have double and triple checked the recovery key, tried copying and pasting it, and tried creating a new key. Anyone else having this issue?

Same issue on Mac. Setting up the recovery key works for me on iOS, yet I'm unable to activate Advanced Data Protection for some reason.
