[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1740946, member: 204485"] That is surprising Ian, I didn't encounter any of that at upgrade because I had already initiated 2FA in iOS 9. A had switched it on because I wanted an App Specific Password for a 3rd party email client to access iCloud mail. Figured I would switch it off again but have found it quite easy to use in iOS 10. When it asks for a numeric password it sends it to my iPhone at the same time as iMessage. Say I use a VPN on my MBP and I appear to be in Singapore Apple will query that and send me a password to my "trusted" device being my iPhone. Sent from my iPhone using Mac Forums [/QUOTE]
