Two-factor authentication helps to protect your account (and associated data) against unauthorized use. It is highly recommended for all users that have an Apple ID account, and may be mandatory for some sign-in actions.


With two-factor authentication, you would have a secondary device that gets codes. That can be a trusted Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Mac) with the same Apple ID account, or else a trusted phone number.
