So if two-part authentication is the cure, why is it not the default? How did the most brilliant company in the world fail to include, at the most basic level, the one thing that would actually make their system, ya know, secure? And then blame the user of that system? What a bunch of iHoles.

How about the fact that, like quite a few Freepers who've posted on these threads, not all people have message capable devices. others who have iCloud accounts are children. No devices. Etc. lots of reasons. Choice. Apple strongly recommends it. They regularly send emails extolling its benefits and explaining how to set it up.

Choice. That’s your answer. Apple chose to leave their customers iCloud accounts at risk so they could parade around with a “Pro-Choice” banner. After a while you just stop making sense but somehow that doesn’t stop you from posting.

Apple will eventually make two-factor authentication the default and act like they were planning to do that all along. That’s actually good news for Apple fans. Instead of making excuses, you should be celebrating.
