Apple fixes “challenge-response” system

Maybe fixes is too strong a word. However, the previously required system is no longer required.

I’m sure the options are still settable in some deep, dark profile editing page. The point is that I can now log in without having to get past this page.

You might wonder why I cared. I don’t have an Apple pre-release seed key right now, but I’ve had one in the past and likely will again in the future. If my account was accessed when I had a seed key and someone downloaded, say, a Leopard seed and posted it somewhere… well, I might or might not be eventually found liable, but if it was tracked to my account (probably a very big if) I’d probably find myself sued.1 Yuck.

  1. I’m sure these guys were caught by tracking their BitTorrents or something like that. []
