To set up two-factor authentication, Apple recommends transitioning to passkeys, which are more secure and resistant to phishing compared to traditional methods like passwords, SMS, or email codes. Passkeys provide a streamlined sign-in experience, eliminating the need for multiple steps and reducing the risk of credential theft.
For more detailed guidance on implementing passkeys and enhancing your sign-in security, you can refer to the session Streamline sign-in with passkey upgrades and credential managers (00:38) from WWDC 2024. This session covers automatic passkey upgrades and improvements for credential managers, which can help in transitioning away from phishable authentication methods.
