Computer and Information Security

We commented last class about to have the right to delete our accounts and data from our providers so I decided to tray too errase an old Apple ID I "had" It's seams that is easy to close an account according the Apple website but it isn't  To erase an account I had to follow this steps: Answer the security questions Change my password Get an email and verify it Create a case to delete Call apple support with an case number Wait 20 min on the phone call Because I had a Developer Account scale the case to EUA Wait 15 min to get an Developer Representative  They have to re-check documentation and call me back I get an email to accept terms and condition TLDR  I get a call after two days to verify my request of close and agree by phone all the terms and conditions  I have to wait 48 h to gat my account deleted and my info erased

After the last class TC2027 on Monday 14 and Ken's suggestion of using an "strong" password  I was trying to figure what is the matter with our "regular" password when we activate a 2FA like an SMS, phone call or Google Authentication App.  So I research about it and made this small post about it. What I found was many examples about how 2FA and MFA resides on really normal transactions like credit cards, banks and doors, to say that we are using 2FA we should have 2 of: something you know something you have something you are   Witch basically is adding security layers to the  standard "something you know" user and password, based on that is easy to resolve my questions; 2 layers are better than just 1 and stronger layers improve security even further. Other point I found is that there is a problem on the recovery passwords features because normally this process avoid the use of 2FA so many services have implemented a 3FA for recoveri
