There is nothing on two-factor in my UI. Perhaps it's limited to some geographies? (I'm not in the US)

- kmfrk 14y agoIt's only for United States, UK, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. ~ http://9to5mac.com/2013/03/21/apple-beefs-up-icloud-apple-id-security-with-two-step-verification/ http://9to5mac.com/2013/03/21/apple-beefs-up-icloud-apple-id...
- crazygringo 14y agoThere's nothing either for me. And I'm in the US, in the heart of Manhattan, using my Time Warner cable. Nothing on the linked page, nothing in my account settings... so I have no idea how this works. EDIT: never mind, it's completely hidden behind "Password and Security" in your account, and then you have to answer your security questions to even SEE what things you can do. ARGH. It took me several tries -- security questions should NEVER be character-matched. How am I supposed to remember if I typed in "Mike" or "Michael" or "Crazy Mike" for my childhood best friend, or "Honda" or "Accord" or "Honda Accord" for my first car? (Those are obviously not my actual answers). Security questions should ONLY ever be "matched" by a human operator over the phone. And God forbid you should ever mistype your initial answers! There's ZERO warning that these will ever be used in a "password"-style sense. </rant>
- smackfu 14y agoI had the same problem. The questions are general enough (where were you on 1/1/2000?) that I had to try several times to get the right answers.
- dunham 14y agoI'm not a fan of security questions as they're easily discoverable and known to other sites that ask the same question. So I just enter random nonsense words and save a screenshot in a secure store.
