Must constantly log in apple ID, ID then locked, must unlock, locks again in minutes, constantly!
This occurs across all my Apple devices, iPhone 12, TV, iPad mini, new MacBook Pro, ancient MacBook White. I DO NOT use 2 factor ID because we had an issue with locking out without cell service. The condition is worst on iPhone because I can't skip notification, I have to close it like 14 times to be able to use phone or go thru the ritual of: log in apple id password, apple id is locked, unlock apple id by answering security questions? enter birthday, answer question 1, then question 2, unlock with password. But, Apple id in settings isn't unlocked, must enter password there. too. Maybe it will lock again, maybe not. It is worst on podcast, where this must be done to stop the notification "log in with your apple id" only to have it reappear within 3 minutes! Interestingly, Mac and TV seem to only need this once each session, iOs phone and iPad it is endless, every time, every few minutes. This seems to have started, maybe last november? I have talked to Apple Support twice, they have tried having me log in on all device, log out of Apple iCloud, log back in, then say just use 2f ID. These have not worked. I think it is a bug or conflict, Apple says can't help. One other weird thing is went to "update all" apps on iPhone, 114 out of 119 were "unable to update at this time". But they all show the blue dot. Who knows if they updated or not? There may have been a conflict with my spouses' apple id at the App store, it seemed to default to that though my phone was logged into my account. I think. Anyone have any ideas? This is really affecting the utility of my devices! BTW, there were similar complaints in the forums. Now, can't seem to find them. mystery.
