Two-factor authentication
The simplest way to set up 2FA on your iPhone.
Your codes, end-to-end encrypted in your iCloud. No Google account, no third-party server, nothing new to learn.
Setting up 2FA shouldn't require a Google account, a Microsoft account, or trusting a server you've never heard of.
It should just work — on your phone, with your iCloud, in about 30 seconds.
