[QUOTE="krs, post: 1848489, member: 67742"] Jake - I don't buy that. If it was really a legal issue, all other companies, at least in the US, would do the same thing. And in addition, Apple would not offer the option to turn 2FA off within the first two weeks of enabling it. Besides, 2FA is not mandatory I don't think - I have an Apple account and no 2FA. In fact, I think Apple forcing people to keep 2FA and not being able to disable that is more of a legal issue for them. If I ended up having my accounts compromised because of 2FA, I, through my lawyers, would argue that after I enabled 2FA say a few years ago, I then found out about the SIM card swap fraud and wanted to disable Apple 2FA but Apple made that impossible for me, so thats makes them liable.
