Using with two-factor authentication, not possible to disable 2FA

[nighto]

Unfortunately Apple does not allow users to disable 2FA after a two-weeks period. I have activated 2FA a long ago and now that app-specific passwords are not allowed anymore, I am not able to use AltStore anymore.

Is there another possible workaround? Does the Apple account need to be the same Apple account used on the iPhone, or can it be a new Apple account, different from the one being used on the phone?

Can I turn off two-factor authentication after I’ve turned it on?

If you already use two-factor authentication, you can no longer turn it off. Certain features in the latest versions of iOS and macOS require this extra level of security, which is designed to protect your information. If you recently updated your account, you can unenroll for two weeks. Just open your enrollment confirmation email and click the link to return to your previous security settings. Keep in mind, this makes your account less secure and means that you can't use features that require higher security.

The error displayed is the same of the #57, though. Creating another issue because even though the error displayed is the same, I believe this is a different issue.

Try changing you Apple ID password. It will erase all previous app-specific passwords, while keeping 2FA. This will allow you to sign in with your Apple ID and your new password.

Any solution for this yet? Changing the password doesn't work, as AltStore still says that 2FA isn't allowed, but 2FA is mandatory for Apple.

FAQ is not up to date. Download latest client from Riley's Twitter, than simply use your password, even if it has 2FA active. Or even a throw-away account, as it doesn't need to be the same account. I can confirm it works for me.

So I can create a throwaway Apple ID for use with this server, it doesn’t have to be the same account I use on my iPhone?

Exactly. Can be or not, doesn't make a difference. Em seg, 23 de dez de 2019 às 22:03, elmstreetvictim < notifications@github.com> escreveu:

Also should be able to create an App-specific password via https://appleid.apple.com if you have 2FA setup. Then just use that specific password.

This should be fixed on the latest versions of AltStore/Altserver. Closing this issue.

I found a solution for this, which exploits the fact that a factor that has been generated for sign-in request A can be used for sign-in request B.

1. Open an incognito window in your browser.
2. Log in with your credentials.
3. A two-factor alert will pop up on your phone. Do NOT do anything with it, just let it be on the screen.
4. Install AltStore.
5. Log in with your credentials.
6. Use the two-factor you got at step 3.
