2-Step Verification for Apple Mail on OS 10.7.5

Can someone verify if having 2-Step Apple ID verification work for Apple Mail? I use iCloud email but on my MacBook (OSX 10.7.5) Mail program, I can't access it. I tested my iCloud Account via Settings and it can't log in. I discovered that by turning off the 2-step verification it works normally on my MacBook.
I'm interested in switching back to 2-Step Verification but I'm worried it won't work again. I'd like to know if this is working now for OSX 10.7.5? I can't upgrade to a new OSX on my MacBook since it's an older model.

Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

  • HT202656 verification code not sent to my iPhone (Sprint) for two-step verification for apple id

    I have tried to set up two-step verification several times using iCloud, first my iMac and then, when that didn't work, on my iPhone, all to no avail. I followed the instructions up to and including the step where the message says I will receive an SMS on my iPhone with a verification code. I never received the message with the verification code.
    I am using Sprint as my internet provider and working with an iMac with Mavericks 10.9.5 as the operating system and iPhone 6 with IOS 8.2

    Hey dagored,
    Thanks for the question. I would recommend completing the two-step verification process and then changing the SMS number associated once you upgrade:
    Apple ID: About two-step verification and SMS
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5593
    Or you can opt to complete the process and then turn two-step verification off completely:

    Thanks,

  • Gmail endlessly requests verification for apple mail and locks account?

    My Apple Mail is set to download each of 3 gmail accounts on my mid-2012 Macbook Air. Worked fine for several years. After Yosemite upgrade, Gmail now locks the account with the dialogue box "Gmail requests account verification" -- but of course they were all verified and codes are correct. I disabled two-step security months ago. Yesterday I enabled "less secure settings for certain apps" in Gmail settings. STILL HAPPENING. What else? I have a different problem on my iPhone 5 and iPad -- mail downloads only periodically, the other times I am told "username or password are incorrect" -- which is, of course, not true. So I am regularly locked out of all three sources for my email!

  • Will Apple Create Its Own Version Of 2-Step Verification For Apple Services?

    I create strong passwords which include numbers, upper and lower case letters, !? and other allowed symbols.  However, even with good passwords, key-logger programs and other methods can be used to hack accounts.
    Google has created the Google Authenticator App which is 2-step Verification.  It is very secure and makes external hacking as close to impossible as one can get.  I use it for my Google Products, including Gmail, Blogger, Google+ and so on.  It is an added step which can seem like a pain, but I really enjoy the sense of added security.
    Will Apple ever create its own version to help secure iCloud, Apple Mail, iTunes, so on?  I would really like to see this as an optional security feature.

    You can make feature enhancement requests directly to the Apple folks if you like. Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:

  • Can I setup two-step verification for more than one Apple ID?

    I have one iPad and one iPhone.
    I have four Apple IDs.
    I want to setup two-step verification in all four accounts.
    Can I?
    It seems that I can't, because to add a "trusted device" to an Apple ID requires setting up Find My iPhone on that device. Find My iPhone requires an iCloud account (which is available with every Apple ID). But once you change the iCloud account account used for Find My iPhone on a device, the device will not be able to be used in two-step verification for the previous iCloud account. Or will it get remembered?
    Anyone have any knowledge about this?

    You should be able to have more than account authorised on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option - and you should be able to select and sync purchases from both accounts to your phones

  • How do you remove devices from the device list when setting up 2-step verification for your apple id?

    When setting up 2-step verification for my Apple ID, I get a list of devices to verify.  My list has my old iPhone 4 and my old iPad, which I don't have either of anymore.  Is there a way to remove these devices from the list?  Plus, both iPads that are listed don't give any indication of which one is my current iPad and which is my old iPad, so I'm not sure which one to verify.  What should I do there.

    For reference, I figured out how to identify which iPad was which so I could verify my iPad.  I went into the settings on my new iPad and changed the device name, started a iCloud backup (not sure if this was necessary but I wanted to make sure the device name change persited to the cloud) and then was able to see the new name on the device screen for 2-step verification.  Hopefully this helps someone if they have a similar problem.  I still am not sure how to remove old devices from the list.

  • Creation of a new Keychain Entry (Internet password) for Apple Mail

    I am working on a Mail Assistant to set up a new Mail Account for Apple Mail.
    My problem concerns the creation of the Keychain Entry for the POP Account with which Apple Mail is set up (by my custom Mail Assistant).
    I am able to create a Keychain Entry with all relevant User Data, the Keychain Entry also appears to be valid (I ran the Keychain First Aid Tool to check it), but when I start the Apple Mail App, it does not recognise the created Keychain entry, but is asking me to enter the Password for the POP Account which I set up successfully.
    Any help is appreciated for giving me a hint of how Apple Mail recognises or links respectively to its adherent Keychain Entry.
    Thanks in advance
    Thomas

    Couple of things to try Theo...
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • I know this is the wrong forum but there isn't one for Apple Mail!

    Hello all,
    Forgive the slight mis-placement but.. I'm looking to move my Mail from my desktop Mac Pro to my Macbook Pro! Can anybody advise the best method that will maintain the current email archive and listings, thus being no change whatsoever once moved to the Macbook?

    Not sure what you are talking about? If the post, which I did not see, was posted in this forum (Mail and Address Book) then it was the correct forum. Your saying there was no forum for Apple Mail would probably have not helped get a reply.
    The correct and simplest method to move is to transplant both the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences and the Mail folder from Home/Library from the one Mac to the other.

  • Out of office Relpy for apple Mail on Mountain Lion Server

    We just recently switched our server from Lion to Mountain Lion and now we can not figure out how to create and launch an Out of Office Reply for Apple Mail on the new Mountain Lion Server.  I have searched the internet for an aswer and/or instructions on how to do this and haven't found any. 
    As anyone figured out how to create and launch an Out of Office Reply for Apple Mail on the new Mountain Lion Server?

    Eustace - Thanks for taking a crack at it!  I saw this same post as well but it doesn't answer my question about how to create and launch an Out of Office Reply for Apple Mail on the new Mountain Lion Server?

  • HT5361 Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?

    Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?
    A great many of the traditional OSX installtion history items are no longer available in 10.8  One can no longer consult the installation history of the "Software Update" preference pane, because that functionality has moved to the Mac App Store utility.  The Systems Information Utility does indeed show *some* installation history, but it does NOT include the Mail.app, for some reason.  Fianlly, I can't find a web posting where apple at least provides the list of all recent software updates for mail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    UPDATE:
    I have partially answered my own question. I found that if go to the History window for the selected file, then double-click the "version" (indicated by the label, which is actually displayed in the "comment" field), it opens the file in html. But, there is a "save as" button in this preview window. If I save the file to a temporary location and optionally, give it a different file name (e.g., to indicate the rev #), I can then go to Windows Explorer, double-click the file, which then launches in a browser window and displays the formatted web file. So this will definately suit my purposes from a audit perspective.
    However, I still would like to understand how the tags, branches, and pinning works because that might be a better way?
