Two-factor authentication is an important security feature that can help protect your Apple ID from unauthorized access. Here are the steps to set it up:

  1. Open your Apple ID account page and sign in.
  2. Under the Security section, click on 'Edit'.
  3. Click on 'Turn On Two-Factor Authentication'.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your phone number and set up trusted devices.
  5. Once set up, you will be prompted to enter a verification code when signing in to your Apple ID on a new device or browser.

It is important to note that two-factor authentication requires access to a trusted device, such as an iPhone or iPad, to receive verification codes. If you don't have a trusted device, you will need to use your recovery key to sign in to your account.
