?Two-step verification for Apple ID? See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204152


But if you are talking about two-factor authentication, see Two-factor authentication for Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915  See this section especially Setup two-factor authentication for your Apple IDFrom this section, "Two-factor authentication is available for Apple ID accounts with at least one device that's using the latest iOSiPadOS, or macOSLearn more. You can follow these steps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to turn on two-factor authentication." 


Note that, even though the latest iOS, iPadOS, or macOS devices are mentioned above, sometimes two-factor authentication is not available. "While most iCloud users can now turn on two-factor authentication, certain account types may still be ineligible at Apple’s discretion."
