    I have to wait 3 days before I can turn on two factor auth for my Apple ID. I’m not the only one who thinks that is bizarre, right?
  • John P. Speno:
    Is it because Apple forced you to update your password in order to turn on 2-factor auth? Me too.
  • Scott McNulty:
    No, I didn’t update my password. I clicked “enable 2 factor” and it said, “Thanks! Come back in 3 days to really do it.”

Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re trying to throttle the rollout so they can keep up with login issues.

  • Scott McNulty:
    That would be fine, though the copy says, “For security reasons you have to wait 3 days.” WTF?

Maybe trying to prevent people switching accounts to 2-factor as a lockout attack? Otherwise stumped.
