ICloud why my device connection password?

Just changed my macbook air account login user password and then iCloud began asking me to enter my new passwords, to continue to protect data stored in iCloud.  So this is something new, I've been using iCloud for several years and have not seen elsewhere.  Why my device user password account would need apple/icloud?  So I called applecare and they explained that it was because I had turned on to apple two factor authentication (should not be confused with two-step authentication).  They said apple cannot access my device passwords.   Guess we should just trust them.   It seems precarious to someone else?  Whenever I have change my device password I (we) have to give them to apple, if you want to use authentication in two steps.  Just a thought.

No, it seems very sure of myself.

    Why has my connection AirPort Extreme recently stopped with my Tablet Android and Windows 7 laptop, but connects very well with all Apple devices?

    What exact model of AirPort Extreme do you have? Either have your tablet or laptop Win7 been updated recently? They were both able to connect before and not now OR they were never able to connect? Can the laptop Win7 access Internet when connected by Ethernet? One of these devices have problems connecting to other networks Wi - Fi?

  • Why can't connect using Apple Airport WIFI of my remote security cameras but can connect using the Xfinity WIFI Modem/Router open?

    Why can't connect using Apple Airport WIFI of my remote security cameras but can connect using the Xfinity WIFI Modem/Router open?

    Two possibilities:

    (1) your airport WiFi might have a network name that is not in line with best practices, wireless

    A good wireless network name is...

    ... In short no more than 20 characters

    Simple... no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, asterisk, etc.

    Compact, without spaces in the name

    For example, a wireless network network name as... red .dfedoryk Apple wireless network... .is not what you want. Something like... .dfedorykwireless. .. masse are much more likely to connect to non-Apple devices.

    Same guidelines your password

    (2) Apple gives the same name to network 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network that produces double router band.  Some non-Apple devices are confused by the present, you may need to use the option to assign a different name for the network of 5 GHz on the router from Apple. Then, 'point' your device to the network name specific to which you want to connect.

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

  • USB devices connected through a USB 2.0 Hub Stop Responding and are not recognized after Hub reconnects

    Recently, I have this strange problem where if I connect an additional USB device to one of my USB hubs, some of my devices stop working (especially my keyboard and mouse).

    I have two hubs Generic USB connected to my motherboard. My motherboard is an ASUS Rampage II Extreme X 58 who and chips ICH10. It has 4 USB ports in the front and 6 ports on the rear panel (all USB 2.0). I also have a USB 3 controller card that is connected to one of the PCI-E card to the Board of Directors.  I have the following problems:

    1. Connect a USB device to one of my USB hubs (or one of the USB ports on the front panel) causes some of my devices to stop working (especially my keyboard and mouse that are connected via a USB hub). It seems that crashes of USB controller.  If disconnect and reconnect my HUB, windows does not recognize devices connected to this hub.
    2. Now, after the crash, if unplugging the devices connected to the hub and connect it directly to one of the ports on the front or the back of the computer, Windows instantly recognizes!

    Now I'm confused what is the cause of this problem. I had the same computer since the release of the i7 and X 58 and never had this problem (although I don't remember if I used USB hubs right there).

    Why Windows to recognise the devices connected to the hub at the beginning, but not after the crash?

    Why USB devices stop working when I connect to another USB device on my computer?

    And how do I solve this problem?

    AK

    Just a thought by the way.  If the hubs are not powered you can cause the + 5V due to the excessive number of devices not powered up to a point where it causes accidents and able to resume.

    Reduce the number of UN powered can solve this problem,

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in permanent private browsing mode (don't remember history).

  • Why so many (6) "Password set out" Dialogues?

    I use Thunderbird on Win 8.1 with master password password manager. I'm also under Lightning and provider for Google Calendar. I get 3 calendars of mine over a few general calendars. When I run Thunderbird I sign on 6 times. It sounds ridiculous. Why have a master password if other add-0ns cannot use it?

    It should be a simple matter to define an indicator if the user has entered a master password. If the flag is set, the Add-ons know they can use their passwords stored without worrying about the user.

    Hi Zenos,

    First of all, thank you very much for pointing me to startupmaster. This is the type of behavior I was looking for.

    Re: version, I'm under 31.4. The week last, to try to see if the residue of prerequisites installs a TB prevention work properly, I have done a complete uninstall, restart, deleting all files of TB and profiles, another reboot then reinstall. I came back just as I mentioned in my original post. It has not been set

    Once again, thanks so much.

  • Why doesn't my password work?

    I signed up for an account in the last 30 minutes. I chose a password and confirmed. Then I went to the Android store to download Firefox for Android on my phone - and it has worked successfully. But when I tried to login, my password was rejected. I checked to make sure it was the same thing, and it is. Why doesn't my password work? Oh, and it is 9 characters long with two digits.

    In addition, I tried to change my password of Firefox on my desktop PC to be rejected for the same problem. So I can't even change my password (it takes the old password).

    Password for what?
    This forum?
    The synchronization service account of Firefox?
    Or?
