Now, to keep the passwords more secure iCloud keychain supports two-factor authentication. This you can jointly set up using the iCloud keychain setting and the corresponding app or website that supports the 2FA mechanism. The advantage of using two-factor authentication with the iCloud keychain is removing the requirement of using any separate 2FA code-generating app.
Steps to Setup iCloud Keychain Two-Factor Authentication
I have shown how to set up 2FA for the iCloud keychain for the Twitter app. You can use the same steps and set up 2FA for any other app or website for which the password is stored in the iCloud keychain. Also, the steps that I have described here are based on the all-new iOS 16. You may upgrade your iPhone to iOS 16. Otherwise, if you are still on iOS 15, you do get the support of setting up the iCloud keychain two-factor authentication. The steps are pretty much the same regardless of whether you are on iOS 15 or iOS 16. When you do not have any access to use the two-factor authentication method, you can use this backup code to access your Twitter account. Keep in mind that this backup code can be used only once. In case you forget the code or use it once, you can generate a new backup code via the Twitter app. Now, anytime you try to login into your Twitter, you can use the verification code from the iCloud keychain and use it on Twitter to authenticate your access. For any other social media app, such as Snapchat or Instagram, you can easily use the iCloud keychain to set up two-factor authentication on your iPhone. The steps are pretty much the same as above. All the major apps and websites have an option to secure your access credentials by using the 2FA mechanism.
Conclusion
So, that’s a wrap regarding the guide on how to use iCloud keychain two-factor authentication. Use 2FA and keep your account data secure from data leaks or unauthorized access.
