I want to know if two-factor authentication (2FA) has been on for my iCloud and Apple ID for a while, especially since I just found out I was part of a data breach 5 years ago.
Apple started using 2FA for Apple IDs back in 2015. It’s the default security method for most accounts now, and it’s required for features like Apple Pay and Sign in with Apple.
Yeah, having 2FA turned on definitely adds an extra layer of security to your account. Just make sure your trusted devices are set up correctly.
If you’re unsure whether it’s turned on, you can check in your account settings. It’s a good idea to verify that everything is set up right.
