[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1912506, member: 110816"] I fall on the side of security, so I welcome forcing this on people as often as possible. People need to adapt as time goes on. Now, the whole idea of adding this level of security is to keep your information secure and private. If others have access to it, you've lessened your security level. Again, this is a personal choice that you have to make. In an emergency, others can use your phone to dial specific people or emergency services without unlocking the phone. I wouldn't want others to unlock my phone without my giving permission to them anyway. But that's just me. But do understand that Apple and other companies are heading/trending toward enforcing these practices more often than making it a recommendation. For example, most employers now require you to enable 2FA to access any company related material, that's just a basic requirement now. I enable 2FA on everything I ever use that holds anything remotely valuable to me. The consequences of lax security in this day and age of hackers/phishers/spammers is dire indeed. [/QUOTE]
