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.

    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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Everyone uses two-factor authentication still?

    According to the Apple HT204915, two-factor authentication will become available for an unspecified number of users "this fall" and then gradually in gradually to more and more of us. As article exists for a few months, it sometimes means between September 21 and December 21, 2015 (but it is now January 2, 2016, and the document has not been revised because of the calendar). For me, system preferences says it is not yet available. It is available to anyone? How it works?

    I had the same exact issue. With my account, I had turned on two-step verification when this system came online. I was waiting to move to two-factor authentication, but was never presented with the option to activate it. Anyway, I called Apple and they said that the two were available for my account. On this basis, I disabled the two-step verification and was then allowed to enable two-factor authentication.

    Not sure if you are in the same boat, or if what I've written makes no sense. But, hope this helps.

  • 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
