Turn on two-factor authentication for your Apple ID
Apple ID guards your iCloud, photos, App Store, and Find My. On most recent devices two-factor is already required, but it is worth confirming yours is on.
- On an iPhone or iPad, open Settings → tap your name at the top.
- Tap Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication.
- If it shows as off, tap Turn On Two-Factor Authentication and follow the prompts.
- Confirm a trusted phone number where verification codes can be sent.
- On a Mac, the same setting lives under System Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security.
- Keep at least one trusted device or trusted number current, so you are never locked out.
