Q: What is the difference between two-step verification and two-factor authentication? Are they exclusive of each other?

I currently use two-step verification for my Apple ID.  I tried to set up two-factor authentication for my iCloud and found that I had to disable the two-step verification.  What is the difference between the two and are they exclusive of each other if they protect different things?
