Hi All & Ronni,

I have read and been through all this information,
now according to my iPhone 6 OS9:

Cannot set up Two-Factor Authentication
is not available for your apple id at this time.

RE: Apple ID:
I can change password, see list of Devices, but none of them, all current 
software updates, have:
This device cannot be used to receive Apple ID verification codes.
I have my Recovery Key but haven’t been asked to enter it anywhere.

Okay, mobile phone number is required, for text message, I entered:
County Code = 61      (correct format, yes?)
Mobile 040….      (Correct format, yes?)

Am I missing something? I still can’t sign in to iTunes or iCloud in system 
settings or App Shop when trying to update, on my MacBook Pro OSX 10.11. 
programs just hang and require Force Quit.

Brian

Hi Brian,

Two-step verification is different from two-factor authentication 
<https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204915>—the improved security method built 
directly into iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan.
Two-Factor Authentication:
<https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204915 
<https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204915>>

Two-Step Verification:

If you changed your Password in Two-Step Verification did you use your 
'Recovery Key'?

With two-step verification <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570> turned on for 
your Apple ID, you'll always need at least two of the following to sign in:
Your Apple ID password
Access to one of your trusted devices
Your Recovery Key
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Go to iforgot.apple.com <https://iforgot.apple.com/> to reset your password. 
You'll need to provide your Recovery Key and be able to receive a temporary 
verification code on one of your trusted devices.
Cheers,
Ronni
