Just the traditional security usability tradeoff. Like door locks, you
just want to make sure yours is tough enough to crack that the lazy bad
guy moves on to somebody else. It's always crackable if they think the
value inside is worth it. I can't imagine what it's like to try and do
security for a Wells Fargo or CitiBank. You can pretty much guarantee
security for your phone by embedding it in a chunk of concrete. Of
course usability suffers ;)

Yes 2 factor authentication is a great idea,

In light of

two-factor auth seems like a really good idea.

Anders, you’re intuition is correct. On native apple devices we get a separate
pop up for the 2 factor response in this case the numerical portion of the
response. In your case, you don’t have that specific pop up so you would
respond like this. For our example say that your password is marshmallow and
your response you received on an authorized device from Apple is 555333. In
your password prompt you would put in one group marshmellow555333 which
contains your password and then the two factor response as an appended number.
The authenticator at Apple knows to strip off the last 6 digits and pass them
to the second factoring mechanism and your password goes off to LDAP and the
database for authentication. (Roughly so you get the idea). Let me know if
that helps.

Hi!
I don’t know if its offtopic to ask about this here but if so i appologize and
let me know that so i can ask it on the eyes-free list instead.
I try to login to my apple music account with the apple music app on android.
However when i click the login button i get a dialog telling me to type the
password together with the 2 step verification code sent to my other devices.
THen there is a try again button and i come back to the login screen.
I can not find any where to type the verification code.
So i am wondering if i should type the email in the e-mail field and the
password and the verification code in the password field together?
It sounds very odd to me but i want to try apple music out on my android device.
Thanks in advance for all help.
