Hi Alex and all,I am sorry for extending this thread, but I am having a similar issue.I do not have two-factor authentication enabled as yet for my Apple account, but each time I power on my phone, I am being prompted to "verify my Apple ID" and enter my password.I am wondering why this is occurring. I have an iPhone 5 running IOS 9.1. I have not reset my iPhone as yet but wanted to check to see if anyone was getting something similar.Regards,Rajiv

Two-factor authentication can be found under the Security link at http://appleid.apple.com. It has nothing to do with iCloud Keychain (which you can definitely leave off if you want to). Having to enter your password each time you unlock is nothing I've ever run into, except for a few times in some beta or other. Assuming you're not on a beta, have you tried turning your phone off and back on? A settings reset also comes to mind, but I don't know if there's a simpler solution I'm not seeing.On Oct 27, 2015, at 18:29, Regina Alvarado <reggie.alvar...@gmail.com> wrote: Where can I find this? Is it tied to the keychain I did not want to turn on but could find no way to avoid? What need are these 2 things, and if keychain is not necessary how do I take it off? The necessity to always put in my apple password is a pain every time I shut off my phone. I need explanation from tekies who are smarter about technology than me. reggie & Lex On Oct 27, 2015, at 6:10 PM, Alex Hall <mehg...@icloud.com> wrote: It's only if you enabled two-factor authentication before the iOS9 update. You would have been given a recovery key that you were warned to not lose. If you enabled it more recently, no such key is provided, and verification happens differently. If you don't have the feature enabled at all, there's nothing to worry about, though I would encourage you to turn it on as soon as you can.

I can then put in my apple password. Everything goes well until the next time I turn off my phone. No code asked for. What is this code, and where can I get it in case they ask? reggie & Lex On Oct 24, 2015, at 10:23 AM, Rajmund <brajmund2...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello, And if you don't get it. Is that OK, too? I haven't even typed in a password after the update. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Hall <mehg...@icloud.com> To: 'Eleanor Roberts' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Date: Saturday, October 24, 2015 2:52 pm Subject: Re: Apple ID verification prompt asking for 2FA recovery key? Update: it's fine. I just called Apple, and was told that the 9.1 update is prompting everyone with two factor authentication enabled to enter their key due to a certificate update. Oddly, when I entered my password just now, intending to give it the key, it didn't ask me for one. Go figure! Anyway, if you're prompted for that key, this is apparently normal.

I thought nothing of it, until it then wanted my two factor authentication recovery key. My understanding is that this key is for recovery only, if I forget my password or am otherwise locked out of my account. My password was right, though. I got nervous about this, because it shouldn't prompt for that key, at least I don't think it should. Has anyone seen this, and/or does anyone know what might be going on? The prompt comes up once a day, but I haven't completed it yet. Things seem to be working just fine without doing so. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
