why do i still get two factor identification prompts from an apple id no longer associated with me?
i recently left family sharing and as a result i still have to sign into the parent account when i set up a new device. and sometimes i still need the parents password to authenticate something on the app store. i also get the two step authentication prompts for the parent account, which i don’t understand if i am not apart of the family group anymore.
