MANILA, Philippines – Apple is trying out two-step verification as a means of improving security on iCloud.com accounts.

AppleInsider reports that Apple accounts trying to access iCloud.com may receive a second prompt requesting they input a secondary code after entering their username and password combination.

According to the report, the two-step verification system sometimes resets if you log out, requiring a new verification process to be completed if you try logging in again.

It is unclear if the service is currently in testing or is slowly being rolled out across the globe. Some accounts may receive the two-step verification prompt, while others do not as of yet.

The iCloud.com service is a web-based interface that allows users to use various apps connected to their phone or other devices. This includes the user’s contacts, notes and reminders, and mail connected to the Apple Mail application. 

The “Find My Iphone” app of iCloud.com remains accessible outside of two-step verification. This means you can use iCloud.com to search for your iPhone without needing to complete the second verification step if two-step verification is enabled. – Rappler.com
