Cybersecurity
Apple said late
Thursday that it's offering users a new security feature for its Messages and
Facetime features. Now Apple users can opt to be asked to enter a second,
one-time use code, in addition to their normal username and password when they
log in on a new device. The code can be texted to you, or show up on an Apple
device already linked to your account.
The move extends
the option, which is already offered on iTunes and iCloud. Admittedly, it
sounds a bit like a hassle for people who are already having trouble
remembering their passwords. You may be thinking, "Hackers won't be
interested in my text messages. Should I really take the effort to do
that?"
