Today, Apple has rolled out a new two-step verification service for iCloud and Apple ID users. This functionality greatly enhances the security of Apple accounts because it requires users to use a trusted device and an extra security code.

This security code can be sent via SMS or via the Find my iPhone iOS app (if it is installed). Users can now setup two-step authentication on their devices via the Apple ID website. Users need to access the security tab on this website to conduct the setup process.

The Verge are reporting that some users are saying they're having to wait 3 days for it to enable, and that Apple's password reset tool is currently unavailable.
 
Don't like how they implemented it.

You need to setup trusted devices and then remember to remove them if you sell, lose or give it away.

It might be a 3 day wait after resetting the security questions.
 
I tried yesterday and it told me 3 days. :/

Is this for any appleid account? Will I have to do this for what I use to sign in to iTunes? :confused:
