what is mz finance?

Greetings,

I was able to resolve this issue yesterday. Let me explain how I did it. The issue was as a result from enabling Two-Factor Authentication on the Apple ID. Since the Two-Factor was enabled, the operating system of the Mac didn't support Two-Factor. You can review the requirements here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205075

Traditionally, as soon as you sign into your account, you should receive a 6 digit code. This 6 digit code is entered immediately after your password. For example, Password123456 and then you'd be able to sign in.

However, this has not been the case. I was able to resolve the issue by going to appleid.apple.com and turning off Two-Factor authentication and restarting the iMac.

Please let us know if this works for you.

A finance company.

I have no idea. Perhaps you have tried to finance a purchase? I cannot find a mention of it just searching in iTunes, so you need to be more specific about where you came across it.

Crappy answer Kappy. And an incomplete question from Kaylie Jay, but still a good one. Why is MZ Finance randomly popping up and asking for password?

Raesea,

Instead of disparaging a response which is approaching two years from being posted, why not ask your own question?

You're right. My bad. Thanks

hi, Apart from a finance company. Did anyone find out how/where/what this might be related to, and how to remove it if necessary?

Cheers!

I have had the same thing when my programs start up, the AppStore comes up and then I get an A for Apple store signon window that wants my Apple ID and at the top it was MZFInance.app.buynow and so on-- a long name

I looked it up and it's an app co for ANdroid yet I don't have ANdroid and have never bought it in the app store let alone anything financial , app-wise/

I called Apple and they put on a senior advisor who was rather alarmed and made a report about it and had me do a data capture to see what might have caused it. a big malfunction or dangerous? I have no viruses or malware acc to scans, either.

I received the same thing on my mac this morning...I have put in a support request with Apple...is there anything I should do until I hear from someone at Apple...up to 48 hours from now?

I too have been getting the iTunes inApp purchase prompt lately when I boot up. I did a Spotlight search on my Mac and found a couple of quite old iTunes purchase receipts with the following:

Apple ID Summary: https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/accountSummary

Purchase History: https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/purchaseHistory

So, what's going on?

Wondering myself - just got the popup for the first time. I'm not entering my password and hoping to figure this out soon. If anyone gets an update, let's hear it! Thanks, jk

I spoke with someone at Apple support two days ago and he had never heard of the issue. He did not seemed concerned at all since I did not try to put in any login information..and since it only showed up once upon a restart. I am still alarmed and even more alarmed that the support desk person I spoke with took a no big deal attitude.

Yeah, that's kinda alarming/frustrating for me too. I have purchased "Moneydance" via the AppStore, but the popup what more in the line of a in-app purchase and I don't remember doing that with anything (if that's even possible) with Moneydance. Weird.
