Hi, There's nothing dark about this at all; the article's clearly been written by someone who's extremely annoyed that they nearly lost access to their Apple ID and is trying to find ways they can portray Apple in a bad light. In the nicest way possible, I for one am quite glad that the author became locked out, purely because the article in its own little way acts as a piece of evidance that the service does what it's meant to do. That's what this entire article boils down too really; author enables a service, time passes, the service kicks in & is shown to function as advertised & author gets annoyed that said service is working.
Enabling things like two factor authentication should not be done without careful consideration as to how an account can be recovered, although I understand that some accounts will naturally be more important than others. For me, the most important information is stored offline in both paper & electronic form & online using a number of different services in a number of different countries. Obviously there are only a few things that warrant measures like this; for me this is mainly research that I have performed but the same processes can be applied to almost anything. JMO of course; definitely be secure but be careful as well. On 12/9/14, Hope Paulos <[email protected]> wrote: > How can you set up to factor authentication for an existing Apple ID?
