  • I don’t use it due to the need to downgrade your iCloud account security settings unfortunately.

    • Do you? I thought you just had to authorize from an Apple device every time.

      • I was too lazy to find the source (but knew it existed) when I wrote that; it’s here at https://support.apple.com/en-us/102630 under the Web Access and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud heading.

        • Are you saying enabling the setting to allow web access is downgrading your security? I think the security risk is super minimal. You need physical access to one of your devices to approve access every time.

          • So as much as love Apple to death, unfortunately my iCloud email account that I don’t use anymore has had its information leaked several times over, but I’d rather keep it despite this.

            What I don’t want is for it to be even easier to brute force, and I also don’t want to make it easy for Apple (or anyone) to access its data. So for me personally it’s important.

            • You need physical access to one of your devices to approve web access. If someone had that they could also just turn on the toggle.
