A thing or two to know about two-step verification for Apple ID
On Thursday March 21, 2013 Apple enabled Two-Step Verification for Apple ID.
Two-step verification is an optional security feature for your Apple ID. It requires you to verify your identity using one of your devices before you can:
- Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account.
- Make an iTunes, App Store, or iBookstore purchase from a new device.
- Get Apple ID-related support from Apple.
In addition to the Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID, there are a few things we found:
- One phone number can be authenticated to multiple Apple ID two-step verification.
- Not all SMS-capable phone number can be used, such as Google Voice number and Skype.
Apple has listed supported carriers for SMS and two-step verification. - When verification code sent to an passcode-protected iOS device, user must unlock the device first before the code to be displayed.
- When verification code sent through SMS to a passcode-protected iPhone, the SMS content might be shown depends on the notification setting.
- Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean does not display SMS content when it is passcode-protected (including face-unlock and pattern-unlock).
Apple was expected to beef up Apple ID security after the epic hacking of Mat Honan’s Apple ID and Amazon Account.

Makeshift Light Box for Coin Photography
Vondiggity asked me to photograph a few late antiquity coins of Roman origin. I used my MacBook Pro, an iPad and a piece of white paper to create a light box.
The results are not bad at all. The photos below were not re-touched other than 16 by 9 cropping and resizing.
