But it does require you to receive a text message or automated voice call to set it up in the first place, and as a fail-safe backup in case your trusted devices are inaccessible, lost, stolen, or destroyed. Apple doesn’t require a phone to use two-factor authentication: you can approve all requests from a Mac or iOS device. It took me a few read-throughs to get what he meant, before I slapped myself on the forehead. So why doesn’t Apple afford the hearing impaired with two-factor authentication? I do have an iPod touch and an iPad in addition to desk/laptop Macs. Thus, I am consigned to a lower level of security. Consequently, I don’t have a phone because a phone would be an unnecessary, even useless, expense.
