Apple's two-step identification could backfire

One of the safest a priori methods to protect your password and the privacy of your data as it would be the two-step identification offered by Apple, would be in question due to a "gap" in the recovery key that Apple would provide when registering in this system, which we must keep as gold in cloth if we do not want to be upset later.

As it has been learned, an editor of the publication »The Next Web«, Williams Owen, would have personally suffered this fact because his Apple ID was blocked due to an attempt to hack into his account in which this system of verification, this caused a crash to occur for security reasons when you tried to access it and failed.

However, the problem lies in the fact that when this two-step verification was registered, the user in question did not write down the recovery key and that from what is seen it is essential to keep it. William accessed the iForgot service to recover his account but could not get it, this caused that after several calls to Apple's technical support in relation to the matter, they all times answered that indeed without that recovery code or key it was impossible to reactivate Again his Apple ID, even going so far as to confirm in one of those calls that he would create a new Apple ID to associate his account with the loss of applications, purchases, music ... that that would entail.

From what you can tell it would not be enough to have the trusted device that was provided when registering the verification in two steps, if not, it must also be accompanied by this key since one without the other would not make the recovery of the Apple ID viable although the support document at Apple do not specify this specific case.

So you already know that if you register it, you should always keep this password.
