Apple has announced built-in multi-factor authentication for iOS 15, which will greatly improve the protection of your personal data according to cyber security experts.
iOS users who want to make use of multi-factor authentication currently have to download third-party authenticator apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator. By providing a built-in system, Apple is making the setup process more accessible, thus encouraging a larger number of people to make use of it.
“To have a more centralized system rather than a scattered system will change the game.” said Miranda Yan, founder of VinPit, in an email interview with Lifewire. “Though Apple is reputed for its privacy and safe handling of user data, [the] new iOS 15 will take that [to] a level above.”
