Why Can’t I Set up Two-Factor Authentication on iPhone?

If you don’t have the option to set up two-factor authentication in the Passwords section of your iPhone, check to make sure that you don’t have an old version of iOS.

You’ll need to update iOS to use this feature or install a third-party authenticator like Authy or Google Authenticator.

Does iPhone Have a Built-In Authenticator?

There is no dedicated authenticator app in iOS, but iOS 15 does let you set up two-factor authentication in the Passwords section of the Settings app. If you have stored the password for a site, you can set up two-factor authentication for that site. Two-factor authentication codes are subsequently displayed in the passwords section of the Settings app as well. To set it up, you need to open the Settings app on your phone, navigate to the passwords section, and select the site or app you’re trying to set up with two-factor authentication. If you haven’t saved the site password on your phone, you need to store it first. To complete the process, you also need to obtain a setup key or QR code from the site that you want to use with two-factor authentication. It’s usually found on your account page or in the same section where you change your password. Every website handles it differently, so you may need to contact the website administrators if you can’t locate a setup key or QR code.
