Apple ID is enhanced with security

Manufacturer of iPhone, iPad forces users to log into Apple ID account through two layers of passwords.

After logging in to Apple ID as the traditional way, users will be sent an SMS with a 4-digit password. After that, they must enter this code to confirm it before they can use Apple ID-needed applications such as iTunes, App Store or iBookstore.

According to ZDNet , using two new password layers will make security questions no longer needed, especially in case the user needs to reset the password for Apple ID. If you forget your password or lose your device, users will receive a 14-digit recovery code to access their account.

Apple said users must be responsible for remembering their login password, recovery code and making sure their devices are safe. If they lose two of these three important information, they can lose control of Apple ID and must create another account . However, the company also said that if users still remember the Apple ID password, they could still create a new recovery code via the My Apple ID website.
