Apple was actually doing their job here, what if that wasn't the real
person, but a hacker instead? If you're going to use that kind of
security, you need to understand the responsibility that goes with it.
Again, personally I think using 2 step security and file vault is
overkill, but if you

Hi,
very interesting situation. I have no recollection of being asked to print my

Is it possible to re-print the key now? If it is could anybody give me some

This is an interesting article. To use this authentication you needed
to have set it up using the two step process. When this is done you no
longer have to answer security questions. I don't know about others
but I'd rather use the security questions since I won't potentially
lose them whereas I

I generally agree with the philosophy here. It's like having a clicker for your
car or your housekeys. You really don't want to get caught without your house
key.
I noticed a news story yesterday about decreased iPhone theft with Touch ID and
two-step verification in place.

Hi,
I have to agree with you about two factor authentication and being
responsible for your own security. About ten years ago my dad died and about
a week later I saw him log into his Instant Messenger. Of course I knew it
was a relative at the house snooping through his personal files so I wrote
I do agree with this, Merv. The lady in th article does make some valid points
but to me, she sounded a little whiny. Now I know it is frustrating but if you
know there is 2 step verification and you use it, keep your stuff in multiple
safe locations. Congratulations on having the only Dad

They were lucky that they found their key. If you're going to use that
system, you need to keep it stored somewhere you can find it.
Personally I think the 2 factor authentication is a bit overboard, but
that's just my opinion.

Hi,
There's nothing dark about this at all; the article's clearly been

I'M GUESSING THE RECOVERY KEY IS DEFINED BY Apple? How many characters do these

Just wondering if the recovery key is provided by Apple, but then can users
change it to their own preference? Like some temporary passwords provided by
some websites.
Thanks in advance. Keith
