I was investigating how I can improve the security of my iCloud account. You mentioned that and accounts can be protected with Two-Step Verification. Can I do the same for my iCloud account in Outlook?

Apple also offers support for Two-Step Verification for iCloud when you have it enabled for your Apple ID. If you haven’t enabled it already, enabling Two-Step Authentication for your Apple ID and iCloud is a good thing. However, enabling it means that you need to generate an App Password for use in Outlook as Outlook does not (yet) provide native support for Two-Step Verification.

This can be done by visiting: • In the section on the left, click on: Password and Security.• You now may be required to answer your security questions if you previously configured them.• At the top, you’ll see a section about Two-Step Verification.

• Read the provided explanation and instructions and click on Continue. • Read the summary of the changes that will be implemented and click on Continue.• Read the warning about the implications of enabling Two-step Verification (yeah really, you need to confirm the change 3 times!) and click on Get Started.• If you hadn’t already, you’ll now need to configure the phone number of at least 1 trusted device which can receive SMS messages. This can be any phone and doesn’t have to be an iPhone. You’ll receive a verification code via SMS which you’ll need to fill out on the website.

Note: Depending on your recent account mutations, you might need to wait 3 days before you can complete the process of enabling Two-Step Verification.
