Q: ok, I get the differences between Two Step Verification and Two Factor Verification. I'm using IOS 9.0.2 and MacOS El Capitan. The explanations of how to use third party application with iCloud no longer are available. Is this coming?
Macaholics,
I just completed enabling the new "two factor authentication" on my 3 devices ... MacOS El Capitan, IOS 9.0.2 on iPhone, and IOS 9.0.2 on iPad.
Evidently, there had existed instructions on using a third party app without built-in support for iCloud for "two step authentication". With the new "streamlined" way of setting up my devices with iCloud, the support for third party apps seems to have disappeared.
In particular, I wish to add iCloud support for Thunderbird 38.3.0 and for Microsoft Office Mac 2011, 14.5.6. Any advice from a skilled Apple community member who's done this? Am I dreaming?
