“Easily slurped” ?
Even for people who do not have 2FA - which Apple have pushed and users have to reject - you still need AppleID and password ? So its like single factor authentication ?
Moral of the story, if you use Keychain, use 2FA. And always use a unique password for your apple ID, and for any email accounts that may involve password resets.
