[QUOTE="Larryo, post: 1912492, member: 406717"] [SIZE=5]All, seems like the Apple security has gone crazy. First is was a required password to use anything, then came the two factor ID, which is forced on us. Now, just found out, if you sign in with the wrong password three times, you could be locked out, until you do an Account Recovery process that can take a WEEK! I've tried to use the same password from day one, but Apple won't let me, however, I religiously record it in my data base, and also use something that's personal to me, so I don't forget. However, I've had Apple change or delete my password so it doesn't work. [/SIZE] I've send suggestions to Apple to allow only one password and it's fallen on deaf ears. I don't use facial recognition, fingerprint OR a pass code for any of my devices (so my GF can use my phone/IPad in case of an emergency. Is there a way to totally eliminate the two factor ID? Occasionally, I'm not with all my devices, and this shuts me down. This is becoming a real PITA, and almost considering switching to Android . Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
