I am currently using 2-factor authentication, which according to the Apple works similar to 2-step verification but with a lot of complexity add on top from the foundation of 2-step. The only thing here however though is that your device must be running iOS 9.3, OS X 10.11.4 or higher for this to work. In addition, the 2-step verification must be turned off prior to turning this option on or else it won’t appear. The method of turning this new 2-factor authentication on is also different. Anyways, the 2-factor authentication for me seem to definitely work better as I think it’s more modernized and enhanced as suppose to just having you to enter the code that was sent to an iOS device. This also works with Mac which is fantastic, and give you an option to allow or denied and pin points the location based off of IP address.
