[QUOTE="krs, post: 1848516, member: 67742"] I have no problem if a company wants to do that - forcing me to use 2FA is the issue I have. Must be "US-Thing" I just logged into my amazon.ca account using the Cliqz browser which I have never ever used for Amazon. No problem - logged me right in with email address and password. I also have accounts with four different banks, one credit union and a set of different credit cards, none so far use 2FA. I occasionally get asked a security question, usually if I log in from a different IP address because I moved my computer, but nothing ever gets sent to my cell phone. As far as all these places are concerned, I don't own a cell phone so sending some authorization code to a cell phone is not even an option in my case. I just change passwords regularly - make passwords for different financial types institutions all different and pick security questions where the answer is rather obscure and only I would know the correct reply. Different security questions for each financial institution as well. Bottom line for me - I don't need 2FA and I don't want 2FA Maybe we can just leace it at that. But I would still like to know if the OP ever got anywhere with Apple to have the 2FA revoked. [/QUOTE]
