Set up multi-factor authentication

You can choose a phone prompt, where you will need to unlock your phone and prove that you – and not someone else – are trying to sign in. Another option is to get a six-digit code sent to your phone via SMS or a call. You can also use authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Duo Mobile, or Authy. Furthermore, you can obtain backup codes.

Change Users & Groups settings on Mac

If your Mac has multiple users, you should set up an account for each person so each can personalize settings and options without affecting other users. You can let occasional users log in as guests without access to other users’ files or settings. You can also create groups and choose automatic login options. You must be an administrator of your Mac to perform these tasks.

Both standard users and administrators can join network account servers.

To change these settings, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Users & Groups  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)

Change the login password on Mac

It’s important to change your login password from time to time to protect your privacy.

Note: Your login password is the password you enter to unlock your Mac when you turn it on or wake it from sleep. It is not your Apple ID password, which gives you access to the iTunes Store, App Store, Apple Books, iCloud, and other Apple services.
