I don't Choose to use either Apple's FaceID or PassCode

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,

No, no face identification, touch ID and I, at

password is what I use for my Apple ID? Would
that be 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.

Subject: RE: question on 2-factor Authentication
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:

Authentication for Apple Id

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
