The commotion that was formed a few weeks ago with the theft of photographs of some famous people and the comments that began to emerge that the problem was due to iCloud security, has put Apple on a war footing. Despite the fact that those in Cupertino studied what happened and concluded by saying that iCloud security was not bypassed, but simply the famous phishing was done to get the keys to those accounts, Tim Cook and his team of engineers have given the security of the iCloud.com portal in case the flies.
For a few moments, the portal of iCloud.com makes use of the two step verification, in those Apple accounts that, of course, have activated this type of verification. Now the user will have to enter the credentials of the Apple ID and later the system will send a verification code to one of the devices that has registered for the process.
For a long time I had been commenting to my friends that from my point of view, the security that the iCloud.com portal had was low, taking into account that an Apple ID can be obtained relatively easily in the case of people close to you and that, as in many cases, They are not aware of what it entails to reveal their Apple credentials to you. Keep in mind that with the Apple ID you can access your data, photos, iCloud emails, contacts from your iPhone's agenda and a long etcetera.
However, today I was happy to learn that Apple has taken these possibilities into account and now, for users who activate two-step verification for their account, it will be much more difficult for lovers of iCloud to enter the cloud. the alien without us knowing. Remember that in order to activate two-step verification, you will have to do it in the account settings.
Let's go back to the news of this article. Now, all users who have two-step verification activated, when we enter iCloud.com, the first thing they will ask us for is your Apple ID credentials. Next, we are going to see how the icons that exist in iCloud will appear with a padlock that will not open if we do not do the two-step verification, for which we must click on the word in the upper area Check, so that a window is displayed in which we will select the device that we want the key to arrive in as well as giving us the possibility of using the Recovery Key. Remember that this recovery key that is generated in the two-step verification activation process is not saved anywhere in the Apple database, so if we lose it we will not be able to do anything and we will lose the account .
Automatically we get the four-digit password, in my case to the iPhone, than by entering it later on the iCloud.com website, will give you access to the applications present there.
