They did grandfather some old accounts, but as you have discovered, once turned on, you have just 2 weeks to reverse it. I see now that Amazon is using 2FA if you sign in from a new system or browser and as I said, my bank, broker, cell phone provider, credit union, credit card accounts are all going to 2FA as quickly as they can.I don't think your legal argument would hold up for a second in court. After all, if you don't use 2FA and the SIM swap fraud occurs, the thieves just change the password with no 2FA and do the same thing as they are with the 2FA data. Any confirmation of the new password goes to the stolen SIM and to their phone, not yours. Apple's liability in that case is zero--it's the cell operator failure.</blockquote>
