Re: Entering Two-step Verification on a Mac?

2018-03-05 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries
Well, my only experience is with Google, where I've used 2-factor for a
couple years.

Google's latest approach is a pop up message on your phone that asks you
to click one of two buttons:

That wasn't me
That was me


Pretty simple, actually. Fallbacks include text you a 6-digit code, or
my personal favorite, calling you and providing a 6 digit code via voice
phone.

Re: Entering Two-step Verification on a Mac?

2018-03-02 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Two step for which service, Google, Apple?  For Two-/Factor through Apple 
iCloud, you'll normally be prompted from another approved device.  The code 
should be presented on that device and you can then enter it on your Mac.  For 
Google, it depends on your mode of authentication such as a text message, the 
Authenticator app or a Google Prompt.

Later...

Questions about Two-Factor Authentication and Two Step verification

2016-10-06 Thread Helga Schreiber
Hi all! How are you all? So I wanted  to activate two- factor authentication, 
but I can't find turn on two-Factor authentication on my icloud settings after 
signing  in  to my apple ID.  I really  don't know why guys! Do  you have any 
idea why? Does that mean that  i have  it activated? Just wondering. So since I 
did not know if I have  it or not, I logging to my apple Id manage account,and 
I tried to activate to step verification, adn I manage to do it, but I can't 
activated untill threedays since I make a lot of changes to my appple ID  
account page. I actually thought that two- factor authentication and two step 
verification are teh same, that is why I logging to my apple ID page LOL, oh, 
well.  How can I check that I hve my two- factor authentication on? Just 
wondering. Do any of you use two- factor authentication adn two step 
verification at the same time in your devices? I'm so new to this. However, I 
do want to have mor security in my appple devices. I look forward in hearing 
from you soon. Thanks and God bless!

Scott,
   While I consider doing this. on a personal level, is it relatively 
easy to do this? Maybe its similar to unlocking both the regular door 
lock and deadbolt on the front door?

That is that you should evaluate the value of what you’re trying to secure and 
then act appropriately.  Here’s an extreme example.  I might not try as hard to 
secure my cable TV account which is of low risk but my account at work which 
attaches to a network protecting 5 trillion dollars on deposit might require 
more scrutiny.  In other words, carefully evaluate the value of the data you’re 
securing first and then make that call.  Where your Macys account might not 
have two factor maybe your main bank accounts and finial holdings should.  Just 
be careful.  Remember passwords are extremely weak.  Public key security or two 
factor are far stronger so apply that as you will.

Yes with the caveat that you understand these are major enterprise focused 
products.

I use RSA Security, that’s the name of the app, it works with the RSA suite of 
products.  It’s integrated with our VPN.
There is also Entrust which is part of the Intrust suite and includes 
authentication.  I’ve used this on VPN devices as well as SSH and network 
access.
A non device specific option is SANE or secure access for network elements.  
This involves dialing a number and entering a spoken code that you hear when 
the call completes.

Enigma Logic is yet another similar option.   All work on both Android and IOS 
with the exception of Entrust which is only accessible on IOS at least that’s 
been my experience.

Hope that helps.

Re: two-step verification

2016-05-17 Thread Seyoon Choi
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.

In this day and age it’s a must have.

In these enlightened times of perpetual password breaches, it’s certainly a 
good idea.  And you no longer have to remember or answer those silly security 
questions.  However, it does translate to a responsibility for you to ensure 
you have access to a device that can be reached for the second factor, 
including any device that receives Find My iPhone messages or SMS messages.  
This is how I have it set up, with my home and mobile numbers over SMS.  You 
can also generate and keep a last-resort rescue code.

Yeah, I think it’s worth it.

Re: two-step verification

2016-05-17 Thread William Gallik
Unfortunately, it probably is necessary to prevent automated subscriptions to 
groups and webpages.

Think of it this way though, it's better than having to deal with one of those 
CAPTIAs!

two-step verification

I may be a wee bit behind about this, but what do you guys think of 
two-step verification? Is it essential? is it more trouble than it's worth?

A note on iCloud Mail, third party clients and two step verification

2014-10-10 Thread Christopher Hallsworth

Hi all

If you do not have two step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you 
can safely ignore this message. If you do, I have a note for you. The 
below took effect as of today.


If you use third party clients such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla 
Thunderbird to manage your iCloud Mail account, you must now generate an 
app specific password before you can use it again. Previously it was 
possible to use your Apple ID password to log into iCloud Mail even if 
you have two step verification enabled. For good reasons of course this 
now no longer works and instead you must do the above. To do so, go to

http://appleid.apple.com
sign in with your Apple ID, verify your identity, click the passwords 
and security tab then click generate app specific password link.


Thank you for reading.
