Not surprisingly, the system  works much the same as with Google and others: you first need to enable  it on the Apple ID website, then you can use your mobile device to  receive verification codes as needed (either via text message or the  Find my iPhone app) to sign into various Apple services. You can also  stash a recovery key away in the event you lose or are locked out of  your phone.<br /> In our testing, it appears that the functionality is  slowly rolling out to US-based users, but in practice, the changes  aren't actually sticking. We're hitting plenty of time-outs, and even  after registering a device, we're noticing that the verifications aren't  sticking within the Apple ID account. If you're running into issues,  you may want to just wait as Apple irons out the kinks.<br />   <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Apple brings twostep verification to iCloud and Apple ID users" data-src-height="450" data-src-width="563" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/apple-two-step-verification.jpg" /></div></div></div>
