    Obviously I'm aghast that only Apple completely ignores any request for
    privacy, but I can't fight it and still log into my Apple ID on my iPads.

    While I gave Apple my personal very private cell phone number, because I
    was forced to do it in order to create the new Apple ID, my question here
    is how can we avoid giving Apple our privacy for the rest of our lives?

    What other forms of 2FA can we give Apple to log into new Apple accounts?


    I’m not entirely sure, but it seems you can get a different trusted device.

    If you don’t want to give out your personal phone number maybe a Google Voice number would work. Use a Google solution to authenticate with Apple!


    Hilarious that the same person who claims that you only need a passcode
    on your phone if you live in a "slum" is also calling his mobile number
    "very private".

    And then he doubles down by declaring that the entirety of his "privacy".

    There's a SKIP button to skip the optional account setup on every operating system - whether it's Apple's or Google's or Microsoft's operating systems.

    Google & Microsoft are not requiring MFV for those who want to use their OS
    - so tapping that SKIP button still allows users to install apps on it.

    Apple is requiring compulsory MFV for all new Apple ID accounts which means Apple is the only operating system maker who is requiring compulsory MFV.

    The problem with Apple's compulsory MFV is, unlike the other operating
    systems, you can't do much with Apple's systems without creating an Apple account on the device (which Apple now requires compulsory MFV to do).

    By the way, as a normal consumer, can you explain how you can set up a
    Windows 11 PC without setting up a Microsoft account?

    https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/install-windows-11-without-microsoft-account


    Did you read it?

    'There's a simple trick for setting up a local account that involves
    issuing a command to keep Windows from requiring Internet to install /
    set up and then cutting off Internet at just the right time in the setup process.

    1. Follow the Windows 11 install process until you get to the "choose a country" screen.

    Now's the time to cut off the Internet. However, before you do, you need
    to issue a command that prevents Windows 11 from forcing you to have an Internet connection.

    2. Hit Shift + F10. A command prompt appears.

    3. Type OOBE\BYPASSNRO to disable the Internet connection requirement.

    The computer will reboot and return you to this screen.

    4. Hit Shift + F10 again and this time Type ipconfig /release. Then hit
    Enter to disable the Internet.

    5. Close the command prompt.

    6. Continue with the installation, choosing the region. keyboard and
    second keyboard option.'

    You think normal consumers can do that, do you?

    I can do it, and I will for various clients...

    ...but they pay me $100+ an hour to do it for them.
