Iphone stolen, then find my iphone disabled

[Mlrollin91]

Just tried the link above on my iPad and I got the prompt on my iPad.
Been like that ever since setting up 2FA.

Interesting. I have experience the complete opposite with my 5 devices.

Can anyone think of other scenarios and explanations to what happened?

Didn't happen unless you gave them the information necessary to do it and since you claim it was a pickpocket, then of course you didn't give them the information.

Nothing to see here people, move along.

I don't get how they got my password, lock screen code. Can anyone think of other scenarios and explanations to what happened?

One scenario it could happen: you use "1234" as passcode, and "password" as your iCloud password.

On your IOS device go to Settings, iCloud, Click on your (Account) name, go to Password & Security and you should see the option for two-Factor Authentication.

Thank you if was off , now it's on

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the responses. Ive figured out how they did it - they memorized my lock screen password, then looked at my evernote for my icloud password. Ive set 2 fa for everything now. Thanks for everyone's help!!

But what about folks who rarely have to enter passcode, as we use fingerprint to unlock all the time?

Hi

I too have activated two step but then all my email addresses received an email from apple telling me I had done this, not just the one associated with my Id. All the email addresses are on the iPad and iPhone. Is this the reason why?

Thanks

Josh

Your methods are woefully insecure. I would recommend learning more about password security.

1. Dump that POS app called Evernote.
2. Start using Apple's default notes app
3. Create a new note and write all your sensitive usernames and passwords in there.
4. Lock that note with a different password and your fingerprint touch ID

I have stopped using Evernote. They recently got hacked and all hashed passwords were leaked. Then you have to pay monthly subscription to enable touch ID locking of individual notes which Apple's default app does it for free.

I think now you can password protect evernote... Or stick to the Apple notes app, which uses fingerprint unlocking and syncs across devices.
