iPad keeps asking to configure apple id
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254656890#
My mother has been having this very same issue for a number of iOS iterations and I too have concluded that it must be 2FA related. Since she doesn't have another Apple device and only uses her iPad for email and occasional web browsing we didn't deem it necessary to set up 2FA. Doing so would mean that she would need to move to another room to answer her landline when Apple called, be prepared to write down the code given over the phone, then go back to the other room to enter it into her iPad. She is 91 so asking her to take her iPad with her when the phone rang is unfair.
The reason this is such a nuisance is that one of those Apple Services that isn't available is FaceTime. I can tell she has the little red dot in Settings because when I try to FT her she shows as no longer set up for FT. It is only once she goes through the Apple hoops that she reappears as available. What seems to be irritating is that she can FT me but now the reverse. It means that I have to telephone her and either ask that she FT me back, or walk her through the Updating Apple ID so that those "Apple Services" become available again.
My question now is if we capitulate and turn 2FA on, when might she need to use it? We have turned automatic updates off because those require her to log back into her Apple ID.
