[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1800872, member: 83420"] Thank you Rod for your very helpful post. As you know, I'm quite a fan of 2FA and use it fairly extensively. My grumble was the persistent pushing of 2FA by Apple on all our devices. And, yes, the fact that several people (including my wife - different Apple ID from mine, on her MacBookPro) who get 2FA codes sent to the device they are currently using. As you might also know, I was a very late convert to macOS High Sierra - just a few weeks ago - and the default setting as you go through the installation process was to initiate 2FA. Luckily I caught this and declined. I am happy to follow advice from the likes of you and the many members whom I greatly respect on our Forums. If the consensus opinion is to go for 2FA on Apple devices, I would be very tempted to go with that. It's just that I feel slightly uncomfortable with the way way Apple [I]appears[/I] to handle this. I never have any problem being proven wrong in my assumptions:) Thank you. Ian [/QUOTE]
