That still leaves the likes of iTunes and the Apple website vulnerable to ne'er-do-wells (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/13/apple-two-factor-limits/) who want to remotely access your sensitive info (and have your password), of course, but now Cupertino's universal messaging (http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/09/apple-solves-missing-text-message/)and video chat programs are locked down a bit further. Given the progress that's been made toward adding the second authorization step to the rest (http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/20/apple-two-step-verification-expansion/) of its ecosystem (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/16/apple-icloud-backups-two-factor/) inrecent months (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/02/apple-says-icloud-wasnt-breached-in-celebrity-photo-leak/), it likely won't be too long before those spots are buttoned up too. Any questions? The Apple two-step verification FAQ (http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204152) is only a click away.
