The suit, filed by Jay Brodsky in California alleges that Apple doesn't get user consent to enable two-factor authentication. Furthermore, once enabled, two-factor authentication "imposes an extraneous logging in procedure that requires a user to both remember password; and have access to a trusted device or trusted phone number" when a device is enabled.

Filing paperwork associated with the suit also alleges that harm is being done, and potential class members "have been and continue to suffer harm" including economic losses, based on a waste of personal time for an extended login process that has become a multiple-step process.

Brodsky alleges that the email that Apple sends after two-factor authentication is enabled is insufficient to warn the user that the setting is irrevocable.
According to the suit, when two-factor authentication is demanded, the process as follows takes between two and five minutes.
