I actually do have access to both business and dev accounts and have said so
in the past. But I don't need that access to update apps, and I never said
that I did. Arlen is lying his ass off, again.

 Hi WolfFan,
 I've known you for years, and I've never assessed that you ever understand
Apple products, but that's not unusual on an Apple Usenet newsgroup.
 Not one of the ignorant uneducated Apple trolls knows anything about Apple.
Yet you're all imbued with a herd animal Make Apple Great Again zealotry.
 The reason you're MAGA trolls is partly you know nothing about Apple, and,
the other part is that you can't believe Apple sucks as bad as it does.
 The fact is, EVERY new Apple Account nowadays *requires* 2FA (AFAIK).

Which (in my opinion) is a VERY GOOD IDEA.

a. User accounts (must use a valid phone or existing device)

Which can be a VOIP phone, and texting service...

b. Developer accounts (must enable 2FA on the Apple ID used to enroll)
c. Organization Developer accounts (account holder must enable 2FA)
 The fact is, for all three types of new Apple Accounts...
a. Needs a trusted device or phone number to receive verification codes.

A phone number, yes. Good.

b. Needs a trusted device or phone number to receive verification codes.

"b." is exactly the same as "a.".

c. Team members added to the account also need 2FA to access the resources.
 You can manage team access through App Store Connect, but each user must
sign in with their own Apple ID that has 2FA enabled.
 BTW, Apple has workarounds for people without Apple hardware, but my point
is you Apple trolls always prove to know nothing whatsoever about Apple.
