• How to change audit in two steps of two factor authentication

  Hello

  I already have the two-step verification implemented on all my devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook). How to move to two-factor authentication? Even how to know he's ready for me?

  Thank you

  You do not change, this is an extra security measure not a replacement. You will first need to see if it is available.

• 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

• 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-factor authentication is not available for the Apple ID of the child?

  iPhone 6 s, iOS 9.3

  Apple ID child account, tried to activate two-factor authentication for it but could not find the option enable iCloud / password and security...

  Is this by design? Or should I still wait... I thought that all Apple ID accounts are now available for, once upgraded to iOS 9.3, two-factor authentication.

  You will need to enable the check in two steps by logging on their identity card to https://appleid.apple.com/

  You can activate the two-step verification with any Apple ID, not just those who are upgraded to iOS 9.3

• 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.

• Pass the old audit in two stages of new two-factor authentication?

  Someone went from the old system of audit in two steps at the new verification of two factors? Or deployment only goes to people who don't use two-step before?

  My household has three identifiers Apple.

  • The first ever used anything else two factors, and it has new two-factor authentication to implement. (I did not in place because the user would rather not have the slight inconvenience and stores not anything of any value in this iCloud account.)
  • The second uses two factors verification and has for some time. No two-factor authentication is offered in iCloud for this account security screen, and even when I remove two factors verification, no two-factor authentication is offered. The account never had e-mails from Apple offers two-factor authentication.

    I called Apple, directly about it. AppleCare support people had no additional information. They just said that it would probably place for me later. They were not citing any inner knowledge. They just read me verbatim the 2FA availability public Apple support article.

  • The third is from an old iTunes account there are a dozen years and has all my iTunes purchases. Apple has never allowed this merger with an ID of iCloud, so I still use it, but I don't have that on any iOS device iCloud account, he can not use anything other than text messages SMS for authentication.

  I wish we could find an answer to when we will be allowed to use 2FA with situations like my second Apple ID.

  I also wish that apple might come to a better solution for the third code of Apple. I realize that content providers have contracts with Apple that restrict or prohibit their ID merger (sigh!), but that would not prevent Apple of engineering this system to allow an iOS device serve as an authenticator for additional code. iOS devices are considered as single user, but many people have more than one Apple. Maybe this will change for the better when the devices iOS supports multiple users, although I would not want to have to go from one user to the other constantly.

• 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

• 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:

  

• 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.

  When I activated two-factor authentication, it prevented my e-mail (outlook for mac) mac program to recover my emails from my account.  Does anyone know how to set up e-mail programs so that our mail from @me.com are available when 2-factor authentication is enabled?
