I want to disable two step verification on my iphone

I am unable to use Chrome or Mail on my iphone because when I enter the code given for two step verification, it is not accepted. My phone is set to the correct time. I cannot get into settings without the verification code.

For what it's worth:

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

Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
Cheers,
Allen

HT5570 When I enable two step verification , do i need a code

i have enabled two step verification and my iPhone 5s is a trusted device
now my iPhone 5c I'm login into iCloud and not asking me for verification
just my email and password , i think one time it asked me for good and now it does not
My question is does it only ask for the first time or new Device login in to iCloud
and when i go to appleid.com it asks me every time for a code

I've not been involved with Google Voice, which presumably is in effect a redirection service? - but I would have thought that you needed to give the number of an actual phone. It can be a landline phone if you have one which will accept text messages - I have this enabled and it works perfectly well.

HT204152 Apple ID Disabled & Lost Recovery Key (Two-Step Verification)

If you use Two-Step Verification:
If your Apple ID is disabled "for security reasons" AND you lost your Recovery Key ALL HOPE IS NOT LOST! Speaking from a recent, nearly devastating experience, I hopefully will provide some relief to others in the same boat...
After speaking to several customer service representatives who basically told me that without the recovery key, there was no way to access my account and everything would be lost forever, I finally spoke with a senior customer service representative that actually understood my issue (most thought I just forgot my password).
As it turns out, my account was locked due to too many incorrect PW attempts (not exactly sure how that happened). I was prompted to go to appleid.apple.com and when trying to log in, prompted to enter my Recovery Key. I couldn't get further than that. What I didn't realize and the other reps didn't tell me was after 8 hours, the account is unlocked. I was then able to log in at applied.apple.com and verify my account using a trusted device. I was then able to create a new recovery key (and print it out and put copies everywhere so this wouldn't happen again!).
Lessons Learned: 1. Don't lose the Recovery Key again! 2. When talking to Apple Customer Service, ask to speak with a senior customer service representative. 3. Wait 8 hours without trying to log in and your Apple ID is unlocked again.

we all have had unsatisfactory results with entry level CS techs. Your advice to be assertive about speaking with a Senior Tech is sound and where I have ALWAYS found satsifaction. Methinks the proprietary Customer Service Knowledge Base may be running the same software as our forums - Terrible searching is a rule here. - the other two suggestions are very good as well - ÇÇÇ

Locked out of Apple ID AND lost Recovery Key for two-step verification

Hey guys,
Firstly, as the title implies, this is a double-whammy of a problem, and obviously, it is very much my fault. The reason I'm bothering to post this, however, is to find out if anyone else has had this issue and where they are at with it.
The story:
I set up two-step verification on my Apple ID about a year ago as I thought it was a good idea. I wrote the Recovery Key down as it told you to, and put it in a folder full of other important documents. In a epic mental lapse, however, I now remember later throwing out that folder, forgetting about my Recovery Key. Ya, that is my fault, I'm and idiot. Anyways...
Fast forward to a few days ago, and I all of a sudden received messages on all my devices saying that my Apple ID had been disabled for security reasons, and that I had to reset the account in order to regain access to it. Scary, but no problem, right? Well, after entering my Apple ID into iForgot.com, the first thing it asked me for was my Recovery Key. This is around the time I was banging my head against the wall in realization that I had thrown it away, but I was relieved to see the "Lost your Recovery Key?" option at the bottom of the screen. I was even more relieved to discover that I had what I needed to reset it: my current password and a trusted Apple device. The catch was that to reset it, I needed to log into my Apple ID to initiate it, which of course I couldn't do because it had been disabled, and the only way for me to disable it is, again, to enter in my Recovery Key. This effectively put me in and endless loop, without any apparent way of gaining accesses to my account. I did contact Apple about it, and I was ultimately told that the lock on my account was so tight, that not even Apple could gain access to it.
I understand that this level of security is probably the whole reason for the two-step verification in the first place, and I again concede that it was extremely foolish of me for forgetting about and discarding my Recovery Key, but a few things still don't make sense...
1. Why would they put a "Lost your Recovery Key?" link on the password recovery page when a password is needed to reset the Recovery Key itself?
2. As far as I can remember, Apple, in their briefing of how two-step verification works, did not bring up this scenario, which is probably relatively common. They DO mention that they can't help when you don't have access to two of the three necessary things for recovery, but they never brought up the apparent exception of if the account is disabled, in which case having two of the three things needed is not enough. I don't understand how they couldn't have mentioned this scenario.
3. Given the above thought, how could Apple not have some sort of special contingency for this type of situation? I profess my ignorance of how these types of systems are set up, but I would feel that there should be a special method for recovery in place if the account has been locked, and the owner is able to verify that they have the password and trusted devices.
I didn't mean to make it sound like a rant. I ADORE Apple, but this system seems like it's less than perfect.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? If so, is your situation similar to mine?
Thanks for any response!

Hey everyone.
It's been awhile, but I wanted to share with anyone who is interested some general knowledge about this issue that I have learned while communicating with Apple support. Unsurprisingly, the issue is still unresolved, and I am under the impression that it will remain that way, but I'm still trying to get in touch with one of the senior representatives I spoke with a while ago who seemed to think that there might be a solution, so I suppose there is still a chance that things could turn out for the better.
Here's the rundown:
Anytime you are unable to sign in to or access your account because of "security reasons", your account is under what is called a "DS Lockout".
A DS Lockout on an Apple ID can be triggered for a few reasons, such as when too many failed logins to the Apple ID (using an incorrect password) are attempted, or when a purchase is made that Apple believes to be fraudulent.
Under normal circumstances, a DS Lockout only lasts for 8 hours, after which the lock is lifted and access to the account by inputting the correct password is re-enabled.
This is where the catch for anybody who set up two-step verification is.
According to one of Apple's security representatives, IF you have two-step verification enabled upon being inflicted with a DS Lockout, the 8-hour lockout period is extended indefinitely as an additional security measure (a feature, I suppose). Therefore, the only way to regain access to the account is by resetting the password, as waiting for the lockout to expire is no longer an option. And of course, resetting your password, as stated by Apple, is one of the situations in which you need your Recovery Key. EVEN IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE ACCOUNT'S CURRENT PASSWORD IS, the lockout prevents you from being able to input it as a means of authentication. You MUST reset your password in order to regain access, and you MUST input your recovery key in order to reset your password.
So, that seems to be the gist of it. It does make sense, but here's my problem:
Upon setting up two-step verification, Apple does warn you of many things, but they do not make any mention of this specific scenario. Indeed, it is very much my fault for loosing my verification key, but the thing is, I’m human, I make mistakes, and I know that I will continue to do so. One of the reasons I chose to take the risk of setting up two-step verification is because Apple explicitly stated that as long as I had access to two of the three required "keys" -- my Recovery Key, my password, and at least one of my trusted Apple devices -- I would always be able to gain access to my account. In other words, as long as I didn’t screw up so bad as to loose access to two of my keys, I’d be okay. Obviously, there is a huge exception to this case that, again, is not mentioned anywhere, hence all the confusion. Had I know that it was possible that it could come down to me needing a single, specific key to regain access to my account, I probably would have opted out of two-step verification, recognizing that as a busy college student who's constantly reorganizing and dealing with tons of forms, worksheets, and other various documents, it's not as easy to hold on to a slip of paper as it might be for others. I'm hoping that at some point, Apple adds a big, red warning to the setup process which reads something like:
"In the event that your Apple ID is locked due to a detected security risk, your Recovery key will be necessary to regaining access to your account; knowing your password and/or having access to any of your trusted devices will no longer be enough."
I really do appreciate how seriously Apple takes its security, but I think that there is still room for improvement. This should start with more clearly and fully stating the conditions of its security measures, as well as having its customer support be more educated on these conditions (they themselves stated that they had never been trained on issues revolving around two-step verification). Protecting someone's private information is important, but so too is making every possible effort to ensure that customers can't easily loose access to all the content and services that they have spent much time and money building up and using.
As stated above, I'm still trying to get a hold of the Apple representative who initially assisted me, so if I have any additional updates, I'll be sure to reply to this thread. I hope that anyone who is going through the same issue, or is simply curious, finds this information to be useful.

Two step verification in Canada SMS does not work with Telus

Just saw the announcement that Two step verification for your Apple account is now available to Canada.
http://www.macnn.com/articles/13/05/10/option.will.appear.automatically.in.accou nt.details/
Tried to sign up, unfortunately after many attempts and testing with a few different phones it appears that Apples SMS server is not connected with Telus mobility as the messages never come through to any of my phones on the Telus network.
So maybe the announcement is a little premature.

False start.
The option to sign up for two step verification has now been removed again.
I guess they have to get the SMS feature working first.
Here is a request. Apple can you implement the industry standard time based authentication protocol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238
Same one is being used by:
Google
Dropbox
Lastpass
Microsoft
Amazon AWS
Then you can use one of the many apps available for smartphones and support users who want something secure but that does not require SMS or an apple hardware device to login to their apple id.

Trying to turn off two step verification but just stuck in an infinite loop

So, I try to turn two step verification off, I go to manage my ID, to Security and choose Turn off Two Step...so far so good
I am told that I have to choose three security questions, enter my DOB and provide a recovery email, then press Continue...still good
A window pops up asking whether I am sure I want to turn it off, it warns me that I have to choose three questions and I am presented with two buttons, Cancel or Turn Off (That turn off button looks very tempting...so I click it)
...so...I am asked to provide three new questions, my DOB and a recovery email address....
And repeat....and repeat...
I have tried on different browsers...I have tried on two different Macs and on a Windows pc....
Any help?

eh?

Two step verification code entry keeps looping in Safari

I've recently upgraded to a 5S, however when I try to purchase from the app store, it askes me to verify the device, as I have two step verification set up.
However, it doesn't work.
I get the verification code sent to my iPad, but when I type it into Safari on either the phone or my iMac, it keeps looping.
The text is
"We have sent a temporary verification code to [device name]. Enter the code to continue. Didn't receive a code?"
When I enter the code, it flickers, then displays the same message.
Help? I can't set up my 5S, I can't disable two-step through my iMac.
Suggestions to overcome? (I do not have my Recovery Key either)

Hi Nate...
Might be Safari cookies, cache, or extensions.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
No open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Two-step verification

I have already emailed Apple about this but have not gotten a clear response. Over the weekend I looked on my iPhone to discover that two apps had been automatically downloaded without my knowledge. I then checked my email to find a message from Apple saying that someone in China had initiated the download. I have Two-step verification enabled and want to know how in the world this person was able to access my account and then download two apps to my phone without me receiving a single message to any of my devices asking for a code.
According to Apples FAQ, a code is needed to purchase or download anything on a computer I don't authorize. Does this mean the system doesn't work at all then? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Two step verification picky wrt cell provider

Using a pay as you go cell phone on Rogers in Canada and can not set up two-step verification for my Apple ID. The SMS text message never shows up. I have no problem receiving other text messages from Yahoo or Microsoft. The majority of 2 factor authentication that I do is via Google Authenticator. I am not going to hold my breath on that ever being implemented on Apple IDs.

You don't have to use it: it's optional though worth doing as a security measure. From what you say you were unable to complete the process so it shouldn't have been set up; if you want to use it you will need to start the process again.

Two-step verification code from apple

Hi, I've been trying to setup again the "two step verification security code" from Apple and they request that I add a telephone number for verification, to which they send a SMS with the 4 digit code when I try to access/change my contact details from apple/icloud to verify it's me and not somebody else. I've run into problems with my two meteor numbers. The text is never received from apple even though the network is listed as one that is able to receive texts from Apple. https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT202656 I have no problem setting up the two step verification procedure if I add another mobile number I have from the Three network. The verification codes are received. But, I don't want to have to use that number as I hardly have it with me. Is this a known issue with meteor? It used to work when I was with emobile? I used to get the texts. But, then they stopped coming. It is also affecting my Apple Pay. I have UK cards which I have added to my phone, but Apple has to verify my nymber through text. They send the text, but I never receive it. (it is not an imessage, by the way. iMessage works perfectly). They have to be proper mobile messages (SMS) for the verification process, but I only run into issues with the meteor network. Is there a filter setup somewhere that stops Apple from delivering their messages to Meteor customers? It happens in my two numbers. Thank you so much for your help.Dani

I had this yesterday as well. I discovered that it was because I had changed the app restrictions on my iPad to 12+ from Allow All Apps. I don't know if this helps in your case, but it seems that access to the device app that controls the AppleID is required on verified devices.
The email is unhelpful - it would be better if it said a bit more about why devices may cease to be trusted.

Alta mail and two step verification not working

Hello how are you all?
I am trying to use AltaMail, v5.2 in my Ipad mini with 2steps verification
It worked fine without the 2 step verification.
But now that I have reactivate my 2 step verification My Ipad apps AltaMail keep stating wrong password for my Gmail account .
I have created an application-specific passwords in Gmail google and entered the password given to me in my AltaMail Gmail account password box but still still doesn't want to connect...... reason wrong password
Contacted app company, but they too although nice seemed a bit lost
any idea

well, yes, but it let me do the iPad and iPhone
and isn't the problem you mention that there is a flaw in the "reset my Password" function, which is not two-step verification.
the 3 day waiting period was always intended for people who have recently made changes to their account, and I think is not part of the concern over the Reset flaw.
I did not have to wait 3 days for the iPad and iPhone to work.
I am able at this moment to have it send the unlock verification code to my iPad. I believe two-step verification is currently up and working, except I can't get it turned on for my mini.
I could be wrong

TS3899 While messing with my two step verification I inadvertinely did something to disconnect myself from my gmail account that is on my mac mail. I can't send or receive any mail

while messing with my two step verification on my gmail account I inadvertently did sometime to my gmail account on my Mac mail. I can't send or receive mail. Any thoughts

When it asks for the password, typically this is a random number sent to you via text message from Google. I get a new code everytime I want to add a new device or log into from a new computer. It can get very annoyingif you access your account from various computers or devices. Once its working its not bad though. You may want to go back in and turn the 2 step authentication off.

ICloud Email in Outlook 2011 w/ Two Step Verification

I have two step verification setup on my iCloud account. I want to use my iCloud.com email with Outlook 2011 on my Mac. It doesn't seem to be working though because of the two step verification. How can I do this?
I'm not using the Mail App, please do not tell me to use Mail.

http://www.msoutlook.info/question/773
Get an App Password for Outlook
Once you’ve set up two-step verification, you need to obtain an App Password to be able to connect again via the Outlook Hotmail Connector or the EAS protocol.
In your account management go back to Security Info.
Under the “App passwords” header, click on: Create a new app password
You can also use this direct link to the App Password section.
Use the generated password which is being displayed to log on to your Outlook.com account from Outlook.
Getting an App Password for Outlook is required after enabling Two-Step Verification for your Microsoft Account.
Note: Although you can reuse this password for other apps, it is not recommended or needed to save this password for future reference. Just create a new one when you are being prompted for a password in another application which doesn’t support two-step verification. If any of the passwords become compromised, use the “Remove existing app passwords” link in the “Security info” section to make them invalid.
