My previous phone was not an iPhone and I did the verification
through a phone call. Worked just fine. But, I disabled it.

Subject: Re: Automatic enabling of two-factor authentication with
iOS 10.3, was: What happens if I take latest update?
Hi Sieghard,
The same thing happened to my husband when he upgraded his iPad,
his only iOS device, to the latest and greatest. Interestingly,
the two factor authentication can apparently be done with a
non-Apple device, that is his phone is an android. When he
entered his android phone number, the code he needed to type was
sent there. I always wondered how that would work, if you could
get a code on the non-Apple

In my opinion the fixes and the fact the more or less not that

iPhone 5S or iPad 4 you don't have anyways.
Just make sure on your iOS devices that you do a backup either
to iCloud or iTunes before you update.
Then empty the app switcher and at least do a reboot, e.g. turn
the phone/iPad off, wait 30 seconds and turn them back on.
Then do the update and all should work fine.
Keep in mind that once the update has downloaded, it will then
sit there for a bit and say "Preparing update" and finally it
will say "verifying update". The "verifying update" message
is usually only there for a shorttime, maybe 15 or 20 seconds,
after that the phone reboots and the update is
installed/configured and during that time the phone will be
silent. On a 5S this could easily be 20 or even 30 minutes,
eventually the phone reboots and will be at the lock screen
asking for your passcode. It's a good idea to make a note of
the time when it says "verifying update" and before it goes
silent just so you have an idea when the 20 minutes are over, but
don't panic if it takes longer, whatever you do don't press and
hold the power button as this could interrupt the update process
and have very undesirable consequences.
It also would appear that this update automatically enables
two-factor authentication because both my wife and my Mom did not
have this enabled and right after the update received the
following email (I replaced the name with "John Smith" just as
a generalization and while parts of the email address is hidden,
I also made up a ficticious gmail for John Smith. If you are not
comfortable with two-factor authentication I highly recommend you
sign into your account at http://appleid.apple.com and while you
will have to get a code that time to get in, you can then turn
this off again in the Security area. Here now what that email
looks like in case you also get it:
Subject: You have enabled two-factor authentication for your
Apple ID
Dear John Smith,
Thank you for enabling two-factor authentication for your Apple
ID ([email protected])
Two-factor authentication is an additional layer of security
designed to prevent unauthorised access to your account and
protect the photos, documents and other data you store with
Apple.
From now on, whenever you sign in with your Apple ID on a new
device or browser, you will verify your identity by entering your
password plus a six-digit verification code sent to your other
devices or a trusted phone number. To learn more, read the FAQ.
Additional security information
If you did not enable two-factor authentication and believe an
unauthorised user has accessed your account, you can use the link
below to return to your previous security settings.
Turn off Two-Factor Authentication
This link and your Apple ID security questions will expire on
April 11, 2017. After this date, the only way to turn off
two-factor authentication will be to sign in to your Apple ID
account page with your password and a six-digit verification
code.
Sincerely,
Apple Support

Here is the link to the AppleVis.com review of the accessibility
changes in iOS 10.3. I pasted the text of the article after the
link.
https://www.applevis.com/blog/apple-ios-news/apple-releases-ios-1
03-bringing-number-voiceover-fixes-also-introducing-least
Apple has today released iOS 10.3 to the public.
At the time of posting, release notes are not yet available;
however, this release brings a number of new features to iOS in
addition to the usual mix of under-the-hood improvements and
fixes.
For blind and low vision users, our testing indicates that Apple
has made some progress towards addressing the accessibility bugs
present in iOS 10.2.1.
As we always stress, it is impossible for us to test all
devices, apps, and use cases. Consequently, it is entirely
possible that there are changes, regressions or improvements that
we are not aware of at the time of posting. With this in mind,
we would greatly appreciate your help in ensuring that the
information on this page is as complete and accurate as possible.
If you spot any accessibility-related changes in iOS 10.3 that
are not already listed here, please do let us know in the
comments below.
Accessibility-Related Fixes in iOS 10.3
· When opening a message in the native Mail app on
iPhone, VoiceOver focus is once again placed into the body of the
message. (Note: Based on our testing, this does not appear to be
the case on iPad.)
· It is once again possible to move an app out of a
folder using the VoiceOver rotor. When moving an app out of a
folder, VoiceOver users will find a new Rotor option to close the
folder. Once activated, focus is moved out of the folder and the
user can then navigate to wherever they wish to place the app.
· The Space bar on the onscreen keyboard can again be
reliably and consistently located by touch.
· Navigating by Heading in the native News app is now
more consistent and reliable.
· VoiceOver no longer announces "incoming call" when
making a call with the native Phone app.
· VoiceOver now provides feedback when dragging an app
from a folder on the Home screen.
New Accessibility-Related Bugs Introduced in iOS 10.3
· Behavior of Shortcut Menus triggered on app icons by
3D Touch is unreliable. Things appear to work as expected if,
after triggering the 3D Touch menu, you keep your finger pressed
to the screen and drag to locate a menu item by touch or perform
a very distinct swipe gesture to move VoiceOver focus. However,
anything else (such as lifting your finger and then trying to
locate a menu item by touch) may result in one of the menu items
being triggered with no input from you.
Some Other changes of Note in iOS 10.3
Help With Finding Mislaid AirPods
Find My AirPods is a new option available in the "Find My
iPhone" app. It keeps track of the last known location where
AirPods were connected to an iOS device over Bluetooth, making a
mislaid AirPod easier to find. It also allows you to play a
sound to locate a lost AirPod. .
Some Changes to App Store Reviews
According to MacRumors, iOS 10.3 will introduce a number of
changes to App Store reviews.
App developers will be able to respond to reviews; and users
will be able to label reviews as "Helpful" or "Not Helpful".
The number of times that an app can prompt users to submit a
review will now be limited; and there will be a new setting
option that lets you turn off app review request completely. The
process of submitting a review when prompted by an app is also
reported to be more streamlined, and should now be able to be
completed without leaving the app in question.
iOS Gets a New File System
When installing iOS 10.3, the device's file system will be
updated to use Apple File System (APFS). Announced last year at
WWDC, APFS is optimized for Flash/SSD storage and includes
features like strong encryption, space sharing, copy-on write
metadata, cloning for files and directories, snapshots, and more.
This article from iMore provides information on APFS and what it
will mean for you.
It has been reported by AppleInsider that the conversion to APFS
is making the upgrade to 10.3 take longer for some than is
typical for an iOS release.
And a Few More Changes
· Settings covering Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store
are now grouped together in a new section in the Settings app.
· The Settings app now provides a list of your installed
apps which Apple say may slow down your iPhone and will not work
with future versions of iOS if they are not updated by the
developer. This is located at
Settings>General>About>Applications.
· SiriKit has been updated with new features that will
let Siri be used to pay bills, check on the status of payments,
and schedule future rides from services like Uber.
· You can now use 3D Touch on the weather icon in the
native Maps app to see weather-related details for your current
location.
· The "Diagnostics and Usage" option in the Privacy
section of the Settings app has been renamed to "Analytics". It
continues to allow you to decide whether or not to send usage
information to Apple to help the company improve its services.
There's also a new "Share iCloud Analytics" option.
How to Update to iOS 10.3
iOS 10.3 is available via Over-the-Air Update
(Settings>General>Software Update) or via iTunes on your Mac or
PC. As always, we recommend making a backup of your device
before installing any software update.

Hello everyone,
I have an Iphone 5S, a 4th generation Ipad, and a 4th generation
Apple TV..
Can I update all of these, with the latest update?
Is it safe?
How might the update affect each of these products?
Any thoughts, or advice will be appreciated.
Thank you,
