Apple Vision Pro: how to Screenshot or Record your view

If you want to share what you see when you’re wearing Apple Vision Pro, you can capture the entire view as an image, or alternatively, make a video recording. On Vision Pro headsets, Apple has built in a function that lets you capture a still picture of your entire field of view that gets saved as an image file, making it convenient for sharing.

It works similarly to the way you take screenshots on iPhone and Apple Watch. Except with Vision Pro, everything you see is included, including your physical room, active Environments, and any apps you are using.

How to use Safari’s Built-in 2FA Code Generator

With online account hacking becoming increasingly widespread, Mac users should make sure they’re taking every security measure available to them. In other words, consider using Apple verification codes to protect your accounts.

One of the best ways to protect any online account is by using two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA offers hardened security during login attempts by requesting that the user provides an extra piece of information only they would know, such as a randomly generated code from a third-party.

In macOS Monterey and later versions of its Mac operating system software, Apple’s Safari browser (version 15 and later) includes a built-in two-factor authenticator that can generate verification codes for additional sign-in security. This means if a site offers 2FA, you can set up verification codes for it without downloading a third-party app.

Verification codes are backed up via iCloud, and once set up, the codes will autofill when you sign into the site using any Apple device linked to your Apple ID. This makes using 2FA on iPhone and iPad much more streamlined.

Enabling 2FA on the Account or Service
First, make sure you have the latest version of Safari (Safari 17). Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to enable the use of a 2FA app on whichever website or service you are trying to secure. Note that if you’ve already enrolled an account with 2FA on a mobile app, you’ll either have to unenroll from 2FA or use the current 2FA code from your mobile app.

You may need to explore the security or privacy settings of the site to enable the use of an authenticator app. On X (formerly Twitter) accounts, for example, the 2FA option is found under Settings and privacy -> security and account access -> Security.

Using Setup Keys
Once you’ve enabled 2FA on the account or service in question, you’ll be asked to either enter a setup key on your device or scan a QR code using your device’s camera. Note that you’ll need to ensure that Safari’s AutoFill feature is enabled (Safari ➝ Settings ➝ AutoFill) and the website’s login credentials are saved in Safari for the 2FA code generator to work properly.
