• Phone verification (two-factor authentication) on Sierra is not available in Bangladesh

  I upgraded to El Capitan in macOS Sierra today. But when I tried to set up two mobile verification or authentication my country (Bangladesh) was not listed there. I was wondering why this service is not available here in Bangladesh? Please give me a solution for telephone based it services.

  If it is not supported in your country, then I'm afraid you're out of luck. As to why, you have to ask Apple https://getsupport.apple.com/ instead we support single users in these Community Forums.

• Two-factor authentication

  On my iMac after Sierra was an option to unlock with Apple Watch (security preferences panel). I click it and it says I need to disable the verification of two factor and enable two-factor authentication. Fine.

  Did. Now the option to activate Apple Watch unlock on the mac has disappeared.

  It works on my other Mac but not the iMac.

  Also in the preferences to iCloud account, then on devices, I see that my Apple Watch can be used to receive the codes!

  Someone knows how to fix these?

  Tried to run iCloud power switch, disconnect the watch and repair, restart everything.

  

  Just to be clear, the Mac is capable of auto unlock, it's an iMac end of 2015 and system report confirms it is compatible.

  The apple support page also suggests watches should be able to receive the codes:

  I've recently implemented Icloud two-factor authentication, because I love the he adds extra security.

  As usual, I have my macbook on me, I also have to log on windows pc, every now and then.

  Unfortunately, ICloud chooses my headless mac mini which I use as a server at home instead of my laptop or Iphone.

  I would like to stop receiving the confirmation on this machine code, everyone was faced with a similar problem?

  If so how to solve it?

  Codes to go to all the secure devices.

  

  Of course, you can trust features remove at any time.

• Why Apple has the code of two factor authentication on the same device that I log in with?

  I just installed Sierra and chose to use the two factor authentication with my iPhone chosen as a device to receive the code.

  But then, Apple displays a digit code 6 on my Mac itself and then asked me to go on my Mac.

  What sense does that make?

  A wild guess - were you log into your account in Safari on Mac when he showed you the digit code 6 on Mac? And you had already completed the sign-in icloud in System Preferences?

  If so, the macOS has been approved, but Safari wasn't. If macOS was able to show the code. It seems strange to first have the same computer application and provide the code, but really it is two layers of security and you had gotten through the first layer already.

• two-factor authentication is not available for your apple at the moment ID

  (two-factor authentication is not available for your apple at the moment ID), how can I solve this problem? I can't run many features such as Apple Watch unlock in Sierra, please help

  I had this same problem, the message that, ' two-factor authentication is not available for your apple at the moment ID. " All my devices have been updated to the latest version of the software, and all other requirements have been met. I couldn't use two-factor authentication and I couldn't open my mac using my Apple Watch.  After contacting the Apple Support, they told me that because I had an email address @mac.com older, this address was not "verified." And that the system was not able to verify the address by sending an email with a link as it does normally; He could do that for more recent @me and addresses of @icloud. Apple had to have a service technician manually to send me an email of check to my address @mac.com. I clicked on the link in the email (I don't need to enter other information), and two factors was not available instantly. Hope that you will find your problem will be solved.

  Outside cellular service areas, IS those who know how the two step aunthicatuon process works in an iPhone 6, using the operating system iOS 9.3.4?  Would a being completely locked out of their iphone and apple services until they could find themselves in a cell service area? Or can it be accessed by a public wifi? Who beg to differ on whether or not it is beneficial to use when you travel?

  I did a little research to see if all Apple items shed light...

  See "How it works" in the Apple ID - Apple Support for two-factor authentication - a time that a device is approved, he'll never ask again unless you perform one or more of several things to "break the connection.

  If I were you, I would spend it TURNED off if you fear that one of these things could happen while you might not be able to obtain the code by SMS

  Frequently asked questions about the audit in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support

  I'm confused as to why Apple would use two different expressions for what seems to be the same:

  • "Two -authentication"- and
  • "Two -step".

  The above two articles begin with a statement like: [underlining is unique, "BOLD" is synonymous with]

  "Two-factor authentication is just an extra layer of security of your ID Apple aiming to sure you are the only person who can access to your account, even if someone knows your password."

  «The two-step verification is an additional security feature for your Apple which designed to prevent anyone to access or use your account, same ID is they know your password.»

  Maybe someone with more experience can shed some light on your question and MY confusion?

• How can I configure on a second two-factor authentication apple that isn't an icloud but rather my itunes account account ID? Only, I seem to be able to use two steps on the second account.

  How can I configure on a second two-factor authentication apple that isn't an icloud but rather my itunes account account ID? Only, I seem to be able to use two steps on the second account.

  You can not. Two Apple factor authentication is a feature of iOS and OS X, based on your AppleID being associated with iCloud account to send and receive authentication 6-digit codes. An AppleID that is not associated with iCloud account cannot be used for 2-factor authentication.

  For Apple ID - Apple Support two-factor authentication

  You can set up validation in 2 steps (which is different) with any AppleID - see frequently asked questions about check in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support

• The emails I send from one of my gmail accounts are received as coming from another account? It happened after authentication OAuth2 swith

  After the passage of my gmail for authentication OAuth2 account setting, whenever I send an email from my gmail, it appears to have been sent from another account I have on Thunderbird? Big problem because they are separate customers of mine. Any ideas to fix this? Thank you!

• How can I change my mail to "password?" authentication

  My e-mail (institutional GMail) IMAP account is continually delay, perhaps because we have an extraordinarily slow Internet connection, perhaps for other reasons. I found that if I changed technical authentication of e-mail for "password" "External (Client TLS certificate)", he seemed to exhale more rarely (but still quite often). However, I can't make the change lever. I have change the password, there is changed (through leaving them and restart the job, for example), but later him (haven't checked to see how long it takes) he will be turned back on itself to external authentication.

  Anyone has any idea why it is not remaining in mode password? Is it perhaps an institutional framework, and I have to take it to the top with our network administrator? I'm almost totally ignorant about the differences between all the authentication methods available and frankly, am not interested in taking the time to learn unless it is absolutely necessary.
