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:
@blankbaby Is it because Apple forced you to update your password in order to turn on 2-factor auth? Me too.
- Scott McNulty:
@speno 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.”
@blankbaby @speno Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re trying to throttle the rollout so they can keep up with login issues.
- Scott McNulty:
@jeffporten @speno That would be fine, though the copy says, “For security reasons you have to wait 3 days.” WTF?
@blankbaby @speno Maybe trying to prevent people switching accounts to 2-factor as a lockout attack? Otherwise stumped.
