[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1822632, member: 204485"] I had the impression that it was not so much the IP address as the location. If I use a VPN constantly (as I do) I only get a query if I change the location. So, so long as I select Melbourne no problem. But if I use "smart select" which turns out to be Singapore I get queried not only by Apple but I get an "unexpected activity" alert on my @live.com account but not @gmail.com account. Maybe they already know where I am, or they don't care to check. After all I have 2FA on my Google account too Sent from my iPhone using [url=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=95677]Mac-Forums[/url] [/QUOTE]
