Cannot configure two-factor authentication

"Two-factor authentication is not available for your Apple ID at this time."

I tried to put in place my authentication to two factors for awhile now (8 months) and I can not even get it to the installation program. The above error message keeps popping up.

However, when I tried setting up the browser, he said he sent the code to my cell phone number - but I never receive.

It was also a pain to have my restored keychain. But fortunately this incident solved by Apple!

Anyone know what the error message?

Creating a new ID is not a viable solution; at least not for me.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards

The signature in your post indicates that you run Yosemite. Two-factor authentication is available only if you run El Capitan and also to meet any other conditions. Even in this case it is not available to you because it is implemented gradually. I meet all the requirements and it is not yet available for me.  For more information, see availability of iOS in two factor authentication 9 and OS X El Capitan - Apple Support .

Until two-factor authentication is made available to you, you should be able to use the two-step verification which is similar. Frequently asked questions about check in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support

  • ACS 5.2 GANYMEDE + and two-factor authentication?

    I am trying to wrap my head around this topic and fault.  I want to configure two-factor authentication via ACS 5.2 GANYMEDE + without having to use a token (such as RSA).  Is it possible to do?

    Is there an available certificate server to generate certificates.

    SSHv2 is the current Protocol of the connection.

    Thank you!

  • 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.

    Concerning

    NH

    Hi, NH,

    I see that you have authentication two factor for customers who connect to your network by using AAA + certificates head.

    I also see that you are looking to get the signed certificate from Thawte.

    > In two authentication factors in your scenario, the client when the connection must present the name of user and password and a client certificate to complete the authentication.

    > You can get the client signed any Public certificate authority (CA) certificate.

    > The certificate with the key usage extension attribute value, such as the authentication of the Client can only be used by the client during client certificate authentication.

    > If extended key usage does not 'Authentication of customer' as one of its value then this certificate cannot be used for authentication of the client certificate.

    > Now, once you get the client certificate and installed it on the post, and currently the head of network during authentication may fail once again validating the certificate of the network head as it is necessary that the head of network must have the certificate root certificate Client installed in his store of Certificate Authority (CA).

  • How to restore two-factor authentication?

    How can I restore two factor authentication after having set up authentication in two steps?

    I use:

    • OS X El Capitan v 10.11.5 on MacBook Pro 13 "early 2015
    • 9 IOS on iPhone 4S

    I have mistakenly set up authentication in two steps without realizing that the improved two-factor authentication is built into iOS 9 and OS X 10.  I must have forgotten two-factor authentication configuration when I implemented the new MacBook a year ago.

    Try turning off authentication step 2 to see if you have then the possibility to select.

  • Two factor authentication, how to store Cookies?

    So, I began to set up authentication two factor for various connections I have. As a normal practice, whenever I have close no matter what browser I have delete all cookies, and when my computer is shut down I get a Norton scan for cookies and delete them. The problem is that it removes my two factors authentication cookies I need. I tried the implementation of an exception, but the cookies are deleted anyway. How can I set this up to work, that is to say protect specific cookies from deletion?

    In Internet Explorer, it's extremely easy to do. All do you is put a check mark next to "preserve the favorite Web site data"... Fact. In Firefox, you would think is equivalent to "Preferences of Site", but it works the same in IE and cookies are deleted.

    SOLVED.

    I finally thought to try different combinations. Unlike the way I expect it works with the exceptions of cookie, the ' * ' character match only matches the 'cookie name', not all the path for a while in the 'site name'. In other words, *. Google.com will not protect the cookies which are also under mail.google.com. In this case both *. Google.com and *. mail.Google.com are necessary. As an example of the real world, the exceptions that work with Google two-factor authentication, which covers 20 + cookies that must be preserved, are:

  • 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:

  • Can I choose my device of trust preferred to iCloud two-factor authentication?

    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.

  • Problem with the two factor authentication with Apple TV.

    I tried to connect to my Apple TV (2nd generation, operating system and updates are up-to-date), log-in failed and indicated that I had to use two-factor authentication which I recently install on my trust Apple devices which included my iMac, iPhone and iPad. As expected, I received a notice on my Apple devices trust with the verification code to six figures to add this code to six figures at the end of my password when signing in the Apple TV. I put my password and add the code check digit at the end on my password. It did not work. Now I can not connect. Any suggestions to connect to Apple TV using 2nd generation two-factor authentication? This Apple TV device is not supported?

    There is model of Apple TV MC572LL/A with Apple TV software version 6.2.1

    Model identifier is AppleTV2, 1

    Model number is A1378

    People have been facing difficulties with this process. I have not encountered such difficulties then have not had the opportunity to test solutions. While a little pain can I suggest that you disable temporarily two authentication step until you have set up your Apple TV.

  • Two-step vs. two-factor authentication verification

    I currently have the two-step verification enabled on my devices (iMac OS X 10.11.5, 6s and 9.3.2 iOS iPad iPhone), but I've recently learned that two-factor authentication is available.

    1. I don't see what the difference is; two factors is better than two steps and - if so - how?

    2. do I need to disable the two steps before moving on to two factors, if I decide to change?

    Thank you.
