    Universal Good alternatives to Bulwark?

    I’ve been using Bulwark for a year now, and it’s a great 2FA app. Simple, syncs with iCloud, works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Or at least used to, the app is no longer in the App Store and with that the iCloud Sync no longer works… can anyone recommend a good alternative that is basically Bulwark...

    WebAuthn (with YubiKey) stopped working on Ventura

    Hi, I recently upgraded to macOS 13 and my YubiKey doesn't work in Safari. After the website starts the authentication request, nothing happens and the request eventually timeouts. In previous versions of macOS, a dialog would show up letting me choose between using Touch ID and HW security key...

    Any way to use built-in iCloud Keychain + 2FA in third party apps via autofill?

    I LOVE the new 2FA in Monterey. I can frictionlessly log into almost any site, even including a 2FA code, all without doing much more than tapping my finger on the Touch ID button. But this really only works in Safari. Are there any third party utilities, or any other methods, of tapping the...

    iPhone 12 mini Does adding a family member with 2FA enabled convert non-2FA family members to 2FA?

    Hello. I want to add a family member who has two factor authentication enabled. However, I do not want 2FA and my account does not have it enabled. If I add this family member, will it convert my account to 2FA? I don't want to try adding them unless I have an idea of what will happen. Thanks...

    iPhone 5 or earlier "new signon" message for powered-down phone!

    Today I got messages on multiple devices (iPhone 12ProMax, iMac, iPad) about "new icloud signon" on a device (iPhone 5S) that was POWERED DOWN. I should note that I am a developer, so I have quite a few devices for test. Older ones I just keep powered down and charge when/if needed. (don't think...

    iPhone 11 Pro REMINDER - 2FA for iPhone release day

    If you are receiving a new iPhone today, don't forget to copy all 2FA codes on your new iPhone BEFORE wiping clean your old iPhone, just like I stupidly did! It's a PITA to have to reset all those 2FA authentication codes, although I'm finding it surprisingly easy - in most cases an email is...

    Actually this could be either iPhone or Mac: I'm investigating switching to 2FA for my iPhones and Macs. My first question is the need for SMS.

    2FA without iOS or MacOS device

    Since 15 June 2017 it is required by Apple to use 2FA for non-Apple products should you want to use, for instance, your e-mail in Windows 10 Mail and Calendar. I don't mind 2FA, but Apple has restricted it to their own devices and OS. Meaning, I can't use my nice authenticator app on my...
