How to set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID and iCloud account

Macworld:

If you aren’t using two-factor authentication to protect your Apple ID and iCloud account, you really should do it today. Hackers who claim to have millions of stolen iCloud credentials are demanding Apple pay a ransom or they’ll release them—and ZDNet obtained a sample set of credentials and determined they’re real.

But guess what? Using two-factor authentication should protect you completely. It’s easy to set up, so take a minute and do it now.

Do it. Do it now. Yes, it’s inconvenient and a PITA. But one day, you’ll thank me.
