Apple sets up 2-Step Verification for iCloud/iTunes accounts

For those interested in the extra layer of security, it's worth doing. I set it up on my Facebook account, thankfully, right before my phone got stolen, and I was relieved I did it. Essentially what it does is send you a text with a code to enter when you log in from a new device to confirm your identity, which you then enter and you can log in as normal. I have been awaiting Apple's input of this feature for a while.

I am going to set it up on my husband's stuff tonight, though Im not sure if we'll do it for his mom's, since her phone is rarely turned on.
