Two-step verification is an extra layer of security for your Apple ID. When you enable it, you’ll need to verify your identity using a trusted device or phone number before you can sign in to iCloud, make purchases from the App Store and iTunes Store, or buy Apple products and services online. You can also use two-step verification when you sign in to iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac.
- Go to Apple’s website and sign in to your account
- Click on the “Security” tab
- Under the “Two-Step Verification” section, click on the “Edit” button
- Select whether you want to enable or disable Two-Step Verification for your account
- Follow the prompts to complete the process
How Do I Bypass 2-Step Verification on Apple Id?
If you’ve forgotten your Apple ID password, you can use Apple’s iForgot website to reset it. However, if you have two-step verification enabled for your Apple ID, you’ll need to enter a recovery key in addition to your password. If you don’t have a recovery key, you can disable two-step verification and then reset your password.
Apple’s two-step verification is an extra layer of security designed to ensure that only the owner of an Apple ID can access their account, even if someone knows their password. When two-step verification is enabled, signing in with your Apple ID requires both your password and a six-digit verification code that’s generated by a trusted device or sent to your phone number. Recovery keys are used as part of the two-step verification process in case you lose access to one of your trusted devices or phone numbers.
You should always keep at least one current backup of your recovery key, preferably in multiple places (like a safe deposit box), in case you lose access to all of your devices and phone numbers.
How Do I Disable My 2-Step Verification?
2-step verification is an extra layer of security for your Google account. When you turn it on, you’ll need to enter a code that’s generated by an app on your phone or sent to you in a text message each time you sign in. This makes it harder for someone to break into your account because they would need not only your password, but also access to your physical device or phone number.
If you decide that you no longer want to use 2-step verification, you can disable it at any time from your Google Account security settings. Keep in mind that if you disable 2-step verification, anyone who has your password will be able to access your account without any additional codes. So, if you think there’s a chance that someone knows or could guess your password, we recommend keeping 2-step verification turned on.
Here’s how to disable 2-step verification:
1) Sign into your Google Account and go to Security.
2) Under “Signing in to Google,” select 2-Step Verification and then click the Disable button under “2-Step Verification.”
3) A pop-up window will appear asking if you’re sure that you want to turn off 2-Step Verification. Select Turn Off.

How to Get Apple Id Verification Code Without Phone
If you’re trying to sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or browser and you don’t have your verification code handy, don’t worry! There are a few ways you can get it.
First, try using one of the trusted devices associated with your Apple ID.
If you have a device that’s running iOS 9 or later, OS X El Capitan or later, or tvOS 9 or later, you can sign in without entering a verification code. Just enter your Apple ID and password on the sign-in screen and tap “Use Device Password.”
If you don’t have any of those devices handy, you can also request a verification code be sent to one of your alternate email addresses.
To do that, just go to appleid.apple.com and click “Forgot Apple ID or Password.” Enter your Apple ID on the next screen and then select “Get an account recovery email.” You’ll be able to choose from any of the email addresses associated with your account, and a verification code will be sent to that address.
Finally, if for some reason neither of those options is available to you, you can contact Apple Support and they’ll help you out.
