[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1861823, member: 204485"] In it's simplest terms 2FA requires that you confirm any major action or change on one device with a code delivered to another (or often the same) "trusted" device. In the case of my MBP, logging into my Apple Account for example from a new browser might request a confirmation code. If so it will be delivered to my "trusted" devices which includes my MBP. So if I drag the notification aside I see the code that I need to enter. Contrary to opinion this does not defeat the point because I am on a "trusted" device. If I wasn't I would have to get the code from my iPhone or iPad. [/QUOTE]
