    Apple Watch does not receive 2FA codes

    After activating the two factor authentication on my Apple ID all my devices show up a trustworthy devices except my Apple watch. The iCloud preferences panel on my Mac tell's me that "this device cannot be used to receive apple id verification codes". Can a Apple Watch receive 2FA codes at all?

    Two factor authentication glitch?

    This morning I got two emails from Apple that my authorized device "Persepolis" had been removed as a trusted device. However when I logged into my account - Apple ID - it was still listed as my primary trusted device. Anyone else have this issue? Should I be worried?

    General Two factor authentication

    Has anyone figured out how to enable the new two-factor (not two-step) verification in iOS9. I followed Apple's instruction here (https://developer.apple.com/support/two-factor-authentication/) but was not able to find it. Is it rolling out gradually even after the OS has been released?
