Has anyone added 2-factor authentication to their Apple ID for use with iTunes purchasing (and presumably other Apple ID uses)? I tried it and can't get it to work as expected, at least.
Here's what I expected to happen: - I enable 2-factor authentication, and verify my iPhone as a trusted device - I try to make an iTunes purchase on another device (iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.) - It asks me for my password - It then asks me for a verification code, which gets sent to my iPhone - I enter that code and the device on which I just made the purchase is now trusted for future purchases The same flow before 2-factor authentication was: - I try to make an iTunes purchase on any device (iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.) - It asks me for my password - The purchase completes Here's what actually happened: - I enabled 2-factor authentication and added my iPhone as a trusted device - I tried to make an iTunes purchase on another device (I tried this with 5 different devices, Macs, iPhones, iPads - all with the same result) - It asked for my password - the purchase completed It never asked for any kind of second factor for authentication as I expected. I asked Apple, and they can't seem to figure it out (they read me their documentation - which I had read and led me to believe my first scenario, then they stopped responding) Has anyone tried this? Do you get the same results? Or am I expecting the wrong thing? Any advice or direction is much appreciated!
