Systems Preferences - number in a red ball

What does this little white number 1 in the red circle mean? It's on the upper righthand corner of the Systems Preferences icon. (I don't even know what iCloud is.)

Am I looking at your Dock? I don't see anything like your image when I open iCloud preferences. Open System Preferences and see what you find. The badge indicates something you need to attend to in System Preferences.

"Two-factor Authorization" with the warning icon is what you have to attend to. Click the "Continue" button and it should give you the option to enable or not.
