“...you taunted me about your bank not asking you whether you wanted Two-Factor authentication for account login. . . which you later retracted.”
Are you even reading the same thread or are you so used to dissembling with impunity that it’s become your automatic reaction? I haven’t retracted anything yet. Happy to do it when necessary, but my point was simple and correct. You’ve been raving about Apple’s security that is NOT ACTIVE by default. My bank, on the other hand, does not ask me if I want a security feature, they tell me what they’re going to do and explain what I have to do to comply. If Bank of America has a higher level of security that you have to opt into, then they’re as bad as Apple.
The canard that additional security is too hard for most people is absurd. Programing your VCR was hard, rocket science, in fact, compared to activating additional security features. Yet somehow there are VHS tapes floating around with every episode of “Alf” carefully preserved.
Apple, being the most brilliant company on the planet, should have devised a way to make their OPTIONAL security easier to use, that’s supposed to be their forte.
