Last I saw you could enable full dtrace. Involved a reboot IIRC, which makes sense. I think the process wasn’t too different from what you do to enable unsigned kexts.

yeah this happened to me yesterday! i can still get in with passkey on my iphone but im dreading needing to go to apple store and tell them that i have been progressively getting logged out of my normal couple apple devices super weird, somethings going on

I’m betting they’ve turned on some AI “features” for detecting fraud and it’s not working out as well as promised.

similar seems to be happening at stripe, their LinkedIn was full of accounts locking out last week.

I had the same thing this morning. Unlock and password reset via another device worked through.

My other device is locked out too unfortunately.

Apple says there is nothing wrong.[1]
