So I set up the pass code first and then the 2 factor authentication?
Now let's hope I didn't do the pass code at some point and forget to write it
down before deciding not to use it!

Hi Vicki,
If you set up a passcode to protect your phone, I would not recommend using
your Apple ID password. For one thing, you can use a simpler passcode on your
phone. Also, it's just more secure if the two are different.
By default, your phone will ask for a six-digit passcode. YOu can change it
to a four-digit one, which is easier but less secure, or an alphanumeric one,
where you type in a passcode using letters and/or numbers and whatever length
you like. I imagine there's a minimum length, but I don't know what it is.
HTH,
Anna

No, no face identification, touch ID and I, at some point, disabled the

correct, that my Apple ID password would be the password I use to protect my
phone.
I'm very careful about keeping passwords stored in a safe place and I only
have my Apple ID password there.

Are you saying you don’t use a passcode or Touch Id or, if you have an
iPhone X Face Id?
Not sure if you can use 2-factor authentication if you don’t have your
device protected. For the most part 2-factor authentication just means that
your Apple Id is protected with a second layer of security, e.g. the first time
you sign in you are sent a code you have to enter after you enter your
password. You can set up devices as trusted devices and consequently you don’t
have to always put in the code. You can read more here:

Subject: question on 2-factor Authentication
Good Morning!
I just noticed that when I do an ICloud backup, my messages are not
highlighted to back up.
When I turned them on for back up, I got the message that I couldn't turn
that feature on without first activating 2-factor authentication.
I'm not sure why this is, but it is.
My question is exactly how does 2-factor authentication work and how will
it affect my turning on and off my mini IPad and IPhone? Will I need to use a
code every time I lock my screen or turn them off and on?
I've never used it, but I do want my messages backed up.
Thanks.
Vickki
