[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1861831, member: 318059"] Knowing how the 2FA works with Apple devices certainly helps. On the other hand the 2FA can give you some anxiety, if you don't know that; for example... If you reset/reinstall the iPhone iOS, it is no longer a trusted device. When you try to login to your iCloud account on the reinstalled iPhone device at the first time, it'll ask for the six-digit PIN number. The first time I reinstalled the iOS on my iPhone, that exactly what happened. Since I have never used iMessaging on the MBP, I didn't know where to get the PIN number from. It took me awhile to realize that the PIN number is on the MBP and at the second time around, I knew where to look for it. [/QUOTE]
