Pikachu Ryan (ID: 00000065029f5165) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/04/2023 good concept but sadly doesn't work if I have 2FA setup for login. App-specific password also doesn't help

Bastian T. (ID: 000000efe4dfbffe) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/15/2023 The Extension has worked very good. Since some weeks the login didn't work with 2FA. The error AxiosError: Request failed with status code 403 occurs and it is not possible to create new email adresses.

Dmytro Polupan (ID: 000000e0588aa8b6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/17/2023 Dear Dimitris, I hate to put 3, cause the extension concept is great, but I do not like an idea, that I provide my iCloud login and password to the 3rd app, that is not authorised by Apple. This is a HUGE potential PRIVACY PROBLEM. Although, I do not claim you are this kind of person, but you definitely have an an OPPORTUNITY to USE THE DATA collected AGAINS USERS INTERESTS. Would be great, if you address this privacy issue, and I might enjoy using you extension.
