I keep getting a "upgrade your Account Security" to continue with setting up your AirTag, how do I do that?

Try the following:


  1. Ensure that your iPhone has been updated to the latest iOS version. Not sure which iPhone you have, but if you have an iPhone 6s or newer then the current version iOS 15.2.
  2. Open the Settings app ➡️ Apple ID (Your Name at Top) ➡️ Password & Security ➡️ Two-Factor Authentication: Ensure that this is set to ON.
  3. Go back to Settings ➡️ Apple ID (Your Name at Top) ➡️ Find My ➡️ Find My iPhone: Ensure that this is set to ON.
  4. If none of the above works or the above items are set correctly, then, ➡️ Reset the AirTag. Continue with the setup of the AirTag after.
