Apple's 2FA is good, but their geo-location needs some work. I constantly get notifications that someone located 3000km away from me is trying to log in whenever I perform a 2FA sign on.

It's enough to concern me on the odd occasion that someone is trying a MITM attack.

I am guessing it is because in Australia, quite often the central server allocating IP addresses for our major ISPs can be in a completely different city?!?

That's too bad. Do other services get it right?
