Why isn't my computer trusted?

I really do not consider this website "sensitive"

It is not about the site per se, but about the computer, the browser, and the (possibly different) user. When you sign in for Communities, that also applies for other Apple sites.

Apple Support staff used to be very busy with account mis-use and unauthorized use, before TFA.

It doesn't seem to remember trust. Very annoying.

Could it be that your have your browser set to delete cookies on quit? Do you browse in a ‘private window’, for which cookies and history gets deleted when closed? It should be something like that, else I wonder why it behaves so odd.

As you sign in with an Apple ID account, which is generally used for far more sensitive other things (e.g. money), account security is paramount. And Apple uses two-factor authentication to help keep accounts safe. The trust is set for a limited time through “website data” (cookies), that expires at a set later date. That means it only works for the same browser on the same computer account, and when you don’t delete cookies.

You can’t get rid of TFA, but it should remember the browser trust for a few weeks, I think.

Other services such as Apple Pay (where somebody may store bank card information), Health data, medical information for emergency services if you have a Watch, Wallet with cards and licenses, etc., access to all your Apple hardware and the ability to prevent others (even the true owner should your account be compromised), Apple Card (credit card), Apple Savings, etc. These are all accessible once you are signed in. So it is more than just this forum. Potentially a user could lose tens of thousands of dollars in value plus have a jolly old time getting it all sorted out. Even if you don't care about those, Apple probably doesn't want some miscreant running wild on its systems with your account. Plus you could be sure that if somebody did have problems with an account they would complain about it here even if they had been warned about it in advance.

Most big corporations are now requiring two factor in one form or another. Gone are the days when all the Internet consisted of was a way to post on a BBS.
