Hi, where can you access your two-factor verification in settings. I want to add to my numbers, thank you Mark. I have forgotten how I accessed this. Thanks so much.

First, in order to setup 2-factor authentication, you must also add at least 1 rescue SMS phone number contact to your profile. Second, when you are required to verify your account, in the same prompt, the dialog box includes a link that says something like, didn’t get code? If you click on that link, then the code is sent to your SMS number. Once this is done, you need only open the text message and, more often than not, the code will be automatically entered into the required field, for you. By the way, you can have as many rescue SMS numbers associated with your 2-factor authentication profile, as you like. In my case, for example, i have 3 telephone numbers in my profile. I can have the verification code sent to any of them at any time. This eliminates the need to cary multiple Apple devices at all times. I’m not suggesting that 2-factor authentication is perfect but I am arguing that it is a necessary evil in a world were thieves live and breathe to rob us of our identity. Also, I prefer 2-factor on Apple to that of Google’s system, by far-and-away. Mark > On Aug 3, 2019, at 9:51 AM, Cris Ali <filasti...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > It is beyond annoying. It is illogical.
