Still unable to turn on two-factor authentication even when the Set-up button is present

I still cannot see 2FA option on neither of my devices, even though all of them are eligible (iOS9 or OSX10.11) for it. I have all security questions filled and credit card added, the birth date is also correct. I tried to sign out of the iCloud on one of the devices, however, it didn't help. Any more suggestions? 😟

Thanks.

I have a Mac that shows the "device is trusted and can receive Apple ID verification codes", but a verification code never pops up on it. My iPad/iPhone do receive codes fine though. I even tried removing my Mac as a trusted device, it prompted me to sign into iCloud again, but 2FA codes still don't show up on it.

Also, is there a way to enable 2FA on an Apple Watch?

Two factor enabled not on the device, but on the account. Apple watch is not on the list of the devices that can be trusted devices.

"

Trusted devices

A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac using iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan that you've already signed in to using two-factor authentication. It’s a device we know is yours and that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser."

Same situation here. I meet all the criteria. I have all new apple equipment. When I first saw the message that 2fa was not available for my apple ID, I assumed that my account had been marked for some "bad egg" reason. I'm now glad to see that we're all in the same boat.

The reason that I want to activate it is so that I can use my apple watch to unlock my Mac Book. To do that, 2fa must be active.

Hey there,

Why Apple send me repeatedly iCloud passcode while I turn on the "Two-Factor A" as double protection as I understood the "Two-Factor A" system as simple...... my iPhone is done with Two-Factor A, iMac 27" still toying with me,....still not finished with "Two-Factor A" system,

I assume someone is standing in my way....

Thanks,

A credit card on file IS NOT a requirement. Note the word *if* below.

It is a recommendation that may allow a user to recover their 2FA protected account faster in the event of a forgotten password..

In fact, it is mentioned in iCloud T&C http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/icloud/en/terms.html

The Service is only available to individuals aged 13 years or older

Same for me and I thought so, too. 😟

Are you running any iOS and/or OS X betas?

I will check again but I did not notice that. Please let us know the fix if you get it resolved.

Yes. I checked. All my devices show that I cannot receive verification codes. I think you are in to something.

Thank you. I suspected the eligibility of devices to receive verification codes might be tied to what you determined. I guess we'll wait.

Has anyone been able to turn this on yet?
