With greater integration at the level of iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan, Apple's new method that is now known as 'two-factor' instead of 'two-step', ends with 14-character recovery keys, to be replaced by a recovery process through customer service at the time, an Apple spokeswoman told MacWorld. However, this has brought multiple problems since most users did not know the importance of this crucial password, since if said password was lost it was very difficult to recover your account again, in some cases having to create a new one and associate it with the device as we explain in this article, with the consequent loss of all the information associated with it, a real headache. It seems that it is definitely confirmed by Apple that this fall when OS X El Capitan and iOS 9 are released, this security mechanism in which it was sent will be eliminated a 14-digit recovery key (as long as we had the two-step verification activated) that allowed in case of forgetting the password or not being able to access the trusted device, the power to restore the account with a new password.
