When activated, in addition to the main system password from the account will also require a four-digit security code and send via SMS-messages or FindMyiPhone on trusted mobile Apple. Two-stage identification system is used at the entrance to the official website Apple.com to your account to access the iCloud, as well as buying digital content in online stores App Store, iTunes Store and iBookstore.
