Last time, I introduced the security question of the Apple ID, but many people are tired of increasing the number of passwords.So, this time, I will introduce another method that Apple provides to protect ID security.
Apple also provides a method of "two step confirmation", which issues authentication code when logging in, as a method of identification when managing Apple ID.
2 Step confirmation mechanism |
Like the so -called "one -time password", it is a mechanism that issues different authentication code each time and inputs it to perform identity verification.Dedicated tokens are used in banks, etc., but in Apple ID, iPhone is replaced with tokens.By registering your iPhone as a "trusted device" in advance, you can receive a confirmation code (you can also register your iPad).
First, prepare for using two -step authentication.
Login to the Apple ID account management page → Tap security |
Enter the answer to the security question and tap "Continue" |
Tap "Start use" in "2 steps confirmation" |
The explanation page opens.Read the contents and tap "Next" |
Enter the mobile phone number and tap "Next" | The confirmation code arrives in the "Message" |
Enter the confirmation code and tap "Next" |
I will work later, so tap "Omitted this step" for the time being |
The recovery key has been issued.Make a note not to lose it | Enter the recovery key for confirmation.Tap "Next" |
2 Read the steps confirmation and check "I agree with the above conditions" |
Ready |
Here, register a terminal that can receive the confirmation code at the time of logging in (the work has been omitted earlier).
Return to the management page and tap security |
Tap "Check the device of ○" with "Reliable Device" (numbers vary depending on the number of terminals used) |
In the future, select the terminal that you want to use to receive the confirmation code at the time of login.Tap "Next" | The confirmation code arrives to the selected terminal |
Enter the confirmation code on the next screen and tap "Confirm" |
It was registered as a "reliable device".You can also register other devices in the same procedure |
By the way, this is no longer needed for security questions.Let's log in to the Apple ID management page.
Enter your ID and password |
Select the terminal to send the confirmation code.This time I chose the iPhone |
When the confirmation code is displayed, tap "OK" and enter the code. |
I was able to log in to the management page |
If you look only here, it seems that login is increasing, but the big difference is that you do not need security questions when opening "security" and "devices" from here.Forget the security questions and prevent it from being troublesome, increasing safety.However, it is also necessary to store the recovery key here.
If you don't understand both the Apple ID password and the recovery key, it's out |
If you do not know the recovery key, you will not be able to reset when you forget your password.Please note that it will not be reset even with support.
