You also have to use a cellphone number for your apple id and it is always one of the fallbacks for 2fa which is just horrible considering how insecure cellphone numbers are.
Dear Apple, just let me use authy or a hardware token instead of your proprietary bullshit.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoYour average Apple consumer doesn’t want a painful time when they lose or damage their hardware token and don’t have a spare, while also not backing up their recovery codes. This happens. It sucks. Apple is a trillion dollar company because they make their users happy enough. Perfect security is not necessarily the best security posture; usability is still a concern.
- seniorgarcia 6y agoSo, 2fa is worthless. Hardware tokens are just a token gesture.I have 4 apple devices, which one provides me with a token is somewhat of a gamble... If this is fine with Apple, ok. Why are they pushing apple school manager on me though? Why do I have to provide a cell number for an apple id to sync backups? Why are ASM accounts unable to install apps from the app store unless you assign them from a central app store profile? Why do ASM accounts not work for iMessage? Why do ASM accounts not work for iCloud backups? It's not about usability, it is about locking people in.
