In case you aren't aware of how the two-step verification feature works, it apparently adds an extra layer of security for the users' Apple ID. This reduces the chances of hackers compromising their account.

The feature requires a user to enter a verification code before they can finally sign in with their Apple ID. The 4-digit verification code can be received via SMS or the Find My iPhone app.

"Interestingly, a small number of the countries Apple lists as new above have had the feature for at least a year, but perhaps that was an unofficial, limited rollout," 9to5Mac states.
