What I find a lot scarier is that macOS seems to store your local user's password as a hash with Apple.

A few months ago I was signing in on my MacBook, and it asked me (assuming because I did not have a mobile number attached) for my Hackintosh local user's password to 2FA.

May be buried in the depths of the EULA, but I most definitely never agreed for my LOCAL account password to be uploaded to Apple.

At least signature checks can be blocked (for now) on a DNS level. What about my passwords?

i operate a VPN server in switzerland for me and a couple of friends; feel free to contact me via [email protected] (valid for 1 week; spambox.us) to work something out :)

no logging and quasi-unlimited traffic. it works on my iphone so i am assuming there should not be a problem with android...
