The problem is NEVER with Apple. It’s always with the meat in the seat. This is Apple’s problem.
On the other hand, an automatic update on Win10 last night changed the way I logged in without giving me so much as a peep of warning.
Now they want you to log into your MS Account, which logs you onto your local computer.
Essentially, MS hacked me. I tried logging on with my pwd until I noticed my email address above the pwd prompt. Logged in with my MS Account creds and it let me into my computer.
In essence, they changed the locks on my house last night without telling me they were going to do it.
A pox on both houses. They are both making some idiotic decisions of late. I’m coming up to speed nicely on my Raspberry Pi. I also here of a nice little Surface clone recommended to me by an MS insider. He’s emailing me a link.
You misunderstand what win10 is doing..
Upon loading win10, you now have a MS cloud account. That account is accessed via your Microsoft windows password you created.
You computers OS is now all functionally based on the cloud account..
At first your login changed to the windows password...At some point when the OS is certain that you are the user (primary administrator) it will allow you to substitute that password for a 4 digit code or PIN.
You can then login with 4 numbers..
BTW.....This sort of password based cloud association with the OS is not new...
I get a big grin on my face when someone says I’ve been hacked, i’m going to go to Apple now...LOL
Because Apple has been doing this as well and for a long time..It’s also related to security and encryption.
You also can now access the MS store through your win 10 account.
Much of this, actually all of it was implemented with windows 8.
Those who did not experience win 8, might be a bit shocked I suppose....
