    Apple *frequently* forces you to verify, where, in fact, you have to
    actually provide your government ID to verify in cases where you don't.

    The fact remains that Apple murdered privacy with mandatory 2FA.

    No other operating system stoops that low to demand your personal identity. Just Apple.

    Hi badgolferman,

    Thank you for understanding I was comparing with other operating systems.

    I'm consistent on the Apple newsgroups in that I compare facts about Apple
    to each of the other common consumer operating systems, as you are aware.

    I happen to have most of those operating systems right in front of me.
    Most of the ignorant Apple religious zealots have never used the others.

    So they're completely unaware that Apple is the only common consumer
    operating system vendor who forces 2FA upon you for the rest of your life.

    Obviously I fought that requirement tooth and nail. And I lost.
    To be clear, I contacted Apple Support at 800-275-2273 three times.

    I spoke with six different people (three "Support Advisors" and three escalations to "Senor Support Advisors") during those 3 hours of talk.

    True to form that most people who own Apple products don't know a thing
    about them, each of the "Advisors" initially claimed you don't need 2FA.

    Then, in turn, separately, each of the three "Senior Advisors" checked with Apple engineers and reported that it's impossible to create an Apple ID
    with adding 2FA which is then required for life to log into the device.

    One even went so far as to agree that if you want privacy from Apple, then probably I should return the iPads and get something else, instead.

    Because this is a FACT.
    I wish it was NOT a fact. I really do. But it's a FACT.

    You can NOT remove 2FA from any Apple ID created after February of 2023.

    The question now, given the finality of that fatal flaw for privacy,
    is what is the most private way for 2FA when you're forced to do it?

    First off, I don't bullshit. I'm intelligent. I know the facts.
    You may *hate* facts about Apple - but they're still facts about Apple.

    Apple is the only common operating system vendor who *requires* 2FA
    (for all new AppleID's which were created after February of 2023).

    That's just a fact.
    a. I accidentally found out that fact when I bought a bunch of new iPads
    b. I set them up *without* and AppleID (which I did to test if it works)
    c. And then I added an AppleID (because it's brain dead without it).

    That's when I found out there is absolutely no way to NOT have 2FA.

    Yet you say this is "total bullshit"?
    Prove me wrong. Create a new Apple ID and tell me if it requires 2FA.

    Try it before you say every fact about Apple that you hate is bullshit.

    Almost always, when an Apple user brazenly denies facts about Apple, they
    are either ignorant of what Apple does, or they hate what Apple did.

    The fact is, after three hour-long support calls with Apple, Apple's rigid policy is you can't create an AppleID on the web or on any device
    (Apple or otherwise) and NOT have to set up 2FA (and you can't remove it).

    No other common consumer operating system but Apple's is that desperate to obtain your personal private information about your personal identity.

    However, I'm wide open if you happen to know more than I do about this.
    For example, try to create a new AppleID & tell me what you found out.

    Also to be fair, there is no supposed "loss of privacy" inherent with

    That you side with and support Arlen's every troll says a lot about you.

    The point of this thread has always been to find out if it's even possible
    to log into a new Apple device with a new Apple ID WITHOUT having to carry
    your Android phone with you to do it (for the rest of your life!).

    You may hate that goal - but that's the goal whether or not you hate it.

    What matters isn't that you repeatedly lied because you *hate* not only the fact that only Apple requires an Apple account just to turn the device into
    a usable device, but that this required account *must* have permanent 2FA (which can never be removed).

    Note what's very different with Apple (which is what you seem to *hate*).
    1. *Only Apple requires an account( just to make the phone functional, and,
    2. *Only Apple requires that (new) account to be permanent 2FA*.

    No other common consumer operating system vendor murders privacy like that.
    a. You're forced to give Apple your very private Android phone number, and,
    b. You need to carry Android with you, forever, just to log into the iPad.

    That you lie this isn't the situation (even as it is) is the clearest
    indicator that you simply *hate* what Apple is - as that's what Apple does.

    What you *hate* is the fact that you can't ever again log into your Apple
    ID without *also* having to carry your Android phone around with you
    (as is the case with many who have Android phones & Apple tablets).

    If there is another way to log into an Apple device *without* having to
    also always carry around an Android phone to do it, let me know please.

    Hi Jolly Roger,

    I realize you're an Apple religious zealot who *hates* that there are
    people who simply state the facts about those Apple products you hate.

    Hence, you call all facts about Apple you're ignorant of, trolls.
    And you also call all facts about Apple you're ignorant of, lies.
    Why?

    HINT: I know why - but I want *you* to answer those questions.

    *FACT:*
    Apple forces all new Apple Id's to use 2FV.
    *FACT:*
    Apple will never let you remove that 2FV.
    *FACT:*
    Apple often requires you to re-login into your Apple ID.

    Those are simply facts, Jolly Roger.

    Q: Why do you call all facts you *hate* about Apple, to be trolls?
    Q: Why do you call all facts you *hate* about Apple, to be lies?

    Hint: All religious zealots *fear* the truth about their chosen God.

    But the fact you hate all facts about Apple products (or, if you're simply ignorant of Apple products, then the fact you call all facts about Apple products that you're ignorant of to be trolls) doesn't make it so.

    It just means you're a nutcase religious zealot impervious to facts.

    Tell us, Jolly Roger, if your 2FA is your Android phone, how are you
    going to log into your Apple ID (for the rest of your entire life!)
    without *always* (for the rest of your life!) having to carry your
    Android phone with you forever, just to log into your account, which,
    we've proven, Apple requires you to do frequently (which you don't
    notice - but it's there).

    Tell us.

    Easily, since after the initial 2FA verification your device is trusted,
    which means subsequent logins are done without 2FA. You're just showing
    how little you know about Apple's 2FA implementation.

    Btw, things might improve if you got yourself an iPhone!

    Heh heh heh... I have plenty of iPhones. Probably more than you do.
    And I have plenty of iPads. Plus plenty of Androids. And PCs too.

    Remember.... I use these devices to test the *truth* about products.

    Which is why I set up the new iPads first, without an Apple ID.
    Which was to *test* the *truth* about how it works without an Apple ID.
    Which - let's be frank - is an iPad is worthless without an Apple ID.

    Which proves the point that Apple designed iOS as a dumb terminal.
    Devoid of even the most basic of functionality without logging into Apple.

    Having proved that fact, I decided to add an Apple ID to that new iPad.
    That's when I found out you *must* add 2FA (since Feb2023).

    Only Apple forces you to murder your privacy.
    Nobody else does. Only Apple.

    Moving forward, since the iPad is a dumb terminal, I added a new Apple ID.
    My daily drive is an Android phone. So that's the phone number I used.

    Sure, it worked.
    But now I have to have Android with me just to log into my Apple device.

    That's absurd.
    Only Apple could come up with such a ridiculously absurd policy.

    Because most Apple customers are ignorant sheep the policy will remain.
    Apple customers will put up with anything - they're all ignorant sheep.

    The fact is Apple murdered privacy.
    And, for me, I have to carry two devices just to log into the Apple one.

    You have no idea that Apple forces you to re-login even if you've

    Because Apple caters to people like you, Jolly Roger, your ego is tied up

    I have four Apple devices currently:

    The MacBook Air M3 on which I'm typing this post.

    An iPhone 8.

    An iPad Mini... ...I can't remember the specific generation

    And an Apple TV.

    They're all connected to my AppleID, which I created before 2FA was
    required, but which I have opted into.

    I'm never bother by requests to login.

    Everything...

    ...as the saying goes...

    ...just works.

    I get all my data synchronized across all my devices and it all just
    happens.

    My biggest peeve is that sometimes, my Mac doesn't pick up on the fact
    that I'd like to transfer a phone call to it.

    Of course. That's how it works for most people. Arlen wants everyone to
    ignore reality. His anti-Apple zealotry requires him to brazenly lie
    about things the rest of us know better about from first-hand
    experience. And badgolferman wants to convince everyone else that the
    people pointing this out are "the real trolls" here.
