    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...

    Two-Factor Authentication

    Hi All, wondering if you can help with this one. In the event if you lose your iPhone and wants to sign into iCloud to disable (or lock, or erase) your iPhone. Would Two-Factor Authentication stop you from doing so? (i.e. does it require you to have your iPhone with you in order to log into...

    2FA - How many times am I gonna have to set this up, Apple?

    Using Spark for email, sometimes outlook, and I'm randomly getting asked to enter my 'password' which is of course, another round trip into iCloud to set one up. Again. It happens on the desktop, on the phone, on the Apple TV. It's a royal pain in the ass and pretty soon I'm going to have to...

    [beta] Two-Factor Authentication

    Seems that iOS 11 expanded two-factor authentication, but please correct me if i'm wrong. When you log in to iCloud.com, you are presented with a 6-digit code entry and the notification on the iDevice is much more informative.

    I have an older Mac Pro on OSX Mavericks that I would like to stay on Mavericks because of certain software comptability (like Aperture).
