The two step system requires you to verify # & 8217; identity of 8217; # & user by using one of the devices in his possession, before you can make changes to your account or to make purchases on iTunes and App Store from a new device. Apple will send through a message recovery key to gain access all 8217; # & account in case you have lost your password or the device.

Once enabled, the new system replaces the security questions that were posed above when a user to reset the password or make purchases on a new device not yet matched to your account.

The new procedure is sure to improve the safety of Apple ID as a forgotten password can now be retrieved using your device or if it has been lost even a trusted device. Such a system will require a password consisting of one letter, one number, one capital letter and at least eight characters to be able to then go to the second step of verification that will send an additional device key dell # & 8217;.

This safety code for verification of 8217; # & account is sent via SMS or through the # & 8217; find my iPhone app. In this phase, the 8217; # & user can select a single device on which to receive this code.

At the time, the system of double verification step is only available for the USA, Ireland and Australia.
