Excuse me #Apple, wtf? Updated to Sonoma 14.5, and on reboot it prompts me for my AppleID password (luckily I have other devices to retrieve it from - those that use a password manager on macOS only are fucked at that point), and then it requested the pin of my iPhone - with things like that I’m not surprised anymore that people fall for phishing attacks all the time. Why the hell does macOS need to know the pin for my mobile device?! Have to change it and remember a new one now. Great.
