I'm confused how you can be locked out of your account with two factor authentication when you have security questions/ recovery keys etc. How is the beta messing this up?
Got a tip for us?

Again, because people are not reading. Apple Watch does not have a public beta. It will not have a public beta until there is a way for individuals to downgrade on their own.
Not since the dawn of time, 14 months ago. If they've gone 14 months, without putting out a WatchOS public beta, it's reasonable to assume they never will. The universe would explode.
I have no idea. Some people are getting various pop ups and when trying to reset their password, cannot proceed. I'll add a link to the original post.
Apple's public beta is really an alpha and Apple's first official production release is really a beta.
I believe they kept it separate between iOS 8 and iOS 9, they still had point updates on 8.
In that case yes, it will work fine. I'd found the AR doesn't work decently anyway...nothing like a 3DS which actually has good AR.
2FA does not use recovery keys or security questions. It uses a 6-digit code generated by a trusted device.
These are the annoyances that I get to deal with on DP2:
Well,unable to quit some apps - the Red X disappears and the only way is to force quit the app.
Some apps don't even start.
Suddenly I noticed hourly time machine backups are about 180Megs... which is odd....
Using Siri causes randomly to loose sound.
OS Boots slower and takes a million years to shutdown.
Apps have some lag when starting.
If someone does productivity things or any critical work - it's a NO NO NO - mainly because of the risk of some apps not launching.
Otherwise I would say it's OK.
Lets see how this develops.
In the past DPs were more often than PBs - I am curious how they will roll out now.

THANK YOU. Posts like this are much more informative than other people just saying "this beta is buggy af!"These are the annoyances that I get to deal with on DP2:

Typically their websites does down an hour before when they are updating. Beta.apple.com is still up.
Oddly, I didn't see any sources in any of the articles showing where Apple announced that the betas would be released today. I hope we're not being trolled.
It could be that Apple just emailed/privately spoke with some journalists to tell them the news, but I still think it's odd.

Um, I meant iOS 10 beta 2.
As for Sierra, I've been using it since beta 1 and beta 1 was way worse for me. Since that Chrome bug was fixed that ate up all my RAM it's been mostly like El Cap.
Plex takes a while to open. I don't use Siri on either platform because she's useless for me. Xcode works at least.
It hasn't been released yet. Just because an article says something, doesn't make it true.
