What on earth is Apple doing here. The steps I went through so far: 1) I had to switch my password to something more "secure". That means adding a capital letter and a number. I am sick and tired of companies forcing me to use non-memorable passwords that have less entropy than if I had come up with something memorable, personal and long by myself. 2) "You must wait 3 days to enable two-step verification. This waiting period helps ensure that no one other than the owner of this Apple ID can set up two-step verification. A notification email will be sent to all addresses we have on file. Thank you for your patience." Regardless of the reasoning for having this in place, all it does is make for a more difficult user experience. Currently when I signed into my Apple ID today, Apple didn't have this process in place and assumed that it was me signing in. So by asking me to change my password when I want to enable this feature it should probably be assumed that I am the account holder. If I was in fact an attacker, changing the password on my account, what if I was on holiday for a week? What if that email hit my spam folder? What if I just didn't notice the email because I am one of the many millions of people who fight inbox zero daily? EDIT: Furthermore, this has now broken my iMessage and Facetime, with Apple not sending a new activation to my device so I can use these services.
