[QUOTE="krs, post: 1848059, member: 67742"] There are ways to minimize this problem as Jake also pointed out, but 2FA without these additional steps you and Jake mentioned was touted as the ultimate security of one's account which in retrospect it didn't turn out to be. When I read the Apple Marketing blurbs on that, they keep mentioning how secure this concept is because the code is sent to devices "under your control" not realizing how easy it is, at least in Canada, to loose control. I have read too many horror stories how people have lost thousands of dollars that way that I'm not at all keen on that approach. What prompted me to even post in this thread was the fact that Apple doesn't let one turn off 2FA after it has been turned on - this is actually unbelievable. I'm glad I found out about this now!
