So, I did a quick Google search about what's going on with my iPhone, and the answers I got just left me more confused than I already was. Firstly, what's the difference between two-factor authentication and twostep thearification?
Here's what's going on. A few days ago, I unlocked my iPhone only to be greeted by a prompt to enter my Apple ID password. There was nothing on the screen to explain why I needed to do this, but ever since getting iOS 9 a while back, I've had to do this from time to time. I didn't think anything of it, because nothing ever seemed to happen afterward. Now, though, every time I try to purchase something from the app store, I'm greeted with a varification code prompt. The only text message-capable iDevices in our household are my iPhone 6S and my husband's iPhone 5C. This varification code thing is a huge hastle for both of us. How on Earth can I get rid of it?
