1. First, we need to enter Apple’s official website, find “Apple ID” in “Technical Support” and enter;

2. Enter “Account Management”;

< p>3. Enter "Manage Your Apple ID";

4. Just use your Apple ID and password for the first login;

5. After successful login, we need to enter " "Password and Account Security", if you have set up security questions, you need to enter the answer to enter the settings;

6. After entering, we need to click "Start Settings";

7. A detailed introduction to two-step verification will then be displayed, just click to continue;

8. Turn on two-step verification, and the previously set security questions will automatically become invalid;

9. Here It should be noted that you must remember the "recovery key" generated later, and then click to start the setup;

10. Click to add a phone number (make sure you can receive text messages without stopping the computer);

12. Fill the received verification code into the input box and click Verify;

13. Verification passed The devices associated with the account will be displayed. If there is no error, click to continue;

14. The "Recovery Key" will be displayed. This string needs to be saved safely. Click to continue after saving it; < /p>

After this, verification is required when logging in to the account. This involves account protection. If you want to change the account password, you must obtain the verification code via SMS. At the same time, when purchasing applications through accounts on new devices, "two-step verification" is also required to ensure account security. If you enter the Apple ID management interface again, you can turn off two-step verification.

Notes on opening Apple ID two-step verification service:

This service greatly increases the security of Apple ID, but we can know from the reminder given by Apple above: There are three key items: account password, trusted device, and recovery key. Two of them must be present for normal verification. That is to say, when you forget your account password, you must have both a trusted device and a recovery key to log in and reset the password. If you do not have a trusted device or forget the recovery key, there is no way to log in to the account. This also eliminates the possibility of account hackers directly using passwords to log in and steal accounts. In view of this, all users who turn on two-step verification must properly keep the three security factors, especially the recovery key.
