Hi,
Wow in iOS 10.0.2 I think it was at the time no such option was presented
during phone setup at all; nor did the lovely Apple rep who guided me
through my very rare spell of panic indicate that such could be used
anymore. To further confuse matters I thought there were two variations of
Apple's tfa and the older form made use of such a key but it was my
understanding that had you switched to the newer incarnation therein such
was gone. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct.
Either way it can be quite confusing and sadly it's why many just don't
bother with it. I'll probably turn it on as soon as my second iDevice
arrives hopefully next week.

I used my recovery key just a couple of weeks ago and the option was there
for me.

Subject: Re: Two factor authentication issues?
Hi,
the only time I encountered an issue with this was recently when upgrading
from one iPhone to another the system texted the code to my number but since
my phone wasn't fully up and running and operational I couldn’t get it to
sign into iCloud properly. So I had to set up phone as new, skipping iCloud
sign in go to apple ID and turn off TFA and then restore phone from cloud
after the fact. their system used to have a recovery key you could use for
times when you're off line but they've taken that away so much as it pains
me for the moment I have it turned off. If one has more than one Apple
device you shouldn't necessarily encounter this but for me it made for some
heart racy kind of moments so for now it's off but usually it's my practice
to use it wherever and whenever I can but I admit sometimes it causes the
user more stress than those it's trying to deter from evil doing.

I'm not worried about getting the code and entering it, although I don't
have any vision. When I am worried about our glitches such that the code
doesn't come or whatever, essentially making your two factor authentication
unusable and locking you out on your new device. There have been some talk
about some major problems, not specified, unless I didn't see the follow up
message, with this system. So I was wondering what they were.
That would be a problem.

I think any time you use a device and need to enter your password you

absolutely no choice! I know it is supposed to be more secure, but
for me it has been distressing because I generally can't get it done fast
enough to make it count.
Others may love it, probably those with some vision more than those
without I suspect.

Subject: Two factor authentication issues?
When I updated my iPad mini two recently, I went ahead and enabled two
factor authentication. Subsequently, Apple sent me a notification that
included a link, which, if I activated, will let me undo the changes I
made. This link will go away as of sometime next week. Therefore, I am
interested in the details of the problems that arise with two factor
authentication. I gave them my mobile phone number where they could
send the six digit code that will be needed when and if I get a new
Apple device where I log in with my Apple ID. I certainly don't want
some unsolvable problem happening down the road. So what are the
issues? Is it something that happens when you're trying to enable two
factor authentication? In that case, mine is already done, so no
problem. If it is a problem that happens when you're actually trying
to start using a new device, that's another matter, and would make me
consider revoking my two factor authentication.
