Re: two-step verification

I am currently using 2-factor authentication, which according to the Apple works similar to 2-step verification but with a lot of complexity add on top from the foundation of 2-step. The only thing here however though is that your device must be running iOS 9.3, OS X 10.11.4 or higher for this

Ben, Can you not do like you did in the old days with Outlook Distress, by setting it up via IMap manually in TB? This admittedly probably is kind of a grey area, as on the one hand, you *are!* talking about ICloud, therefore it's on topic, but I'm not sure how many people on here use

Re: I did it!

Hi, In my opinion Uber is much superior to cabs. I won't bore anyone unless someone asks but I could give several reasons why I think Uber is a much better option for a blind person than is using a cab. The interface on the iPhone with VO is very easy to use as well. Gabe On May 17, 2016,

Re: two-step verification

As someone who deals with network security, it is absolutely essential. Passwords are dead, they are far to easy to crack and with the high speed computing and networks available now it’s easy to do so, easier than it has been before. Most passwords are still encrypted with a weak hashing

Personally, it really depends on how the steps are constructed. Essential is too strong a word, and depending on the process those being tested might not have an inclusive door to that step, it might not be as secure, etc. I dare say those who have lost irreplaceable parts of their lives due

You can use any IMAP client, including Thunderbird, to get to iCloud. Just use imap.mail.me.com port 993 with SSL and smtp.mail.me.com port 587 with TLS, and log in with your existing iCloud user name and password. If you have two-step verification set up, you have to go to Apple’s website

Hi, iCloud E-Mail, does, in fact, work with Thunderbird. I don’t remember right off hand where you go to add new accounts, but I do remember that you have to select I think it’s “Other” from the list of E-Mail accounts you can set up. Then, you type in your full E-Mail address, your name, and
