Ondrej Holzman Apple is strengthening Apple ID security, now allowing users to activate and use two-factor authentication when signing in. In addition to the password, you will also need to enter a four-digit numerical code...
To use double verification, it is necessary to register one or more so-called trusted devices, which are devices that you own and to which a four-digit numerical code for verification is sent, if necessary, through the Find My iPhone notification or SMS. You will need to enter this next to your password if you get a new device and want to use it to log in to your account or make purchases in iTunes, the App Store or the iBookstore.
Along with activating two-factor authentication, you will also receive a 14-digit recovery key (Recovery Key), which you will keep in a safe place in case you ever lose access to one of your devices or forget your password.
If you use two-factor authentication, you will no longer need any security questions, they will replace the new security. However, this system will also require a new password, which must contain one number, one letter, one capital letter and at least eight characters. If you don't have such a password yet, you will have to wait three days for a new one to be verified before switching to two-factor authentication.
During the activation of the new security, the user selects at least one trusted device and sets how the security code will be sent to him. The procedure is simple:
- Visit the website My Apple ID.
- choose Manage your Apple ID and log in.
- choose Password and security.
- Under the item Double verification choose Start and follow the instructions.
More about the new security can be found on the Apple website. However, the service is not yet available for Czech accounts. It is not yet clear when Apple will release it for domestic users.
It only works for US, UK, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand so far, other countries will gradually follow ;)
You could also write to kašpárka that it is not yet functional for the Czech Republic!!! If you are already writing an article, check the information first...
Call someone else a scumbag. Unfortunately, I could not verify the functionality of the service, because since I wrote the article, I have been dealing with Apple that I cannot access my account.
I HAD THE PASSWORD 123456 UNTIL RECENTLY, THEN THEY CANCELED IT!!
Skoda
I find my credit there - when I need to buy something, I delete it. It's the safest thing in the world!!
Petr Sybol, can you read you "fool" I guess you didn't even read the article... it is written there in the penultimate sentence that the service is not available for Czech honorees. Think first and then throw up :)
That's because the article has been updated… Good morning :D
Hello, can someone tell me when there will be a conference in Apple? I don't know the date yet, but when is it every year?
WWDC is in early June every year. The last one started on 11.6.2012.
thanks, I'm waiting for a new ipad, so I'd rather wait for June. I don't know if it has the price of a mini, if it still has an A5 processor, if it won't be slow in a while..
I would wait for retina mini, summer or autumn tutovka.
I also don't understand why you guys have to learn CZ
