    Hi,

    I'm using iCloud for Windows and every time I switch between Bootcamp or Parallels I have to authentify with two step password. Really annoying!

    Is there a way around this?

    Thanks,

    Hi again, Marai,
    this is about using iCloud under Windows.
    Everytime you switch from Bootcamp partition to Parallels Bootcamp VM or vide versa, you need to re-enter icloud password and go through two step authentication (you receive a message on the phone and need to enter 6 digits in icloud windows). So it's really cumbersome.

    Do you have a 2-steps authentication on your Mac? Please check this out for more information.

    I have same issue here.
    I attached the screenshot for your naturally ignored request before.
    This window shows up every freaking single time when I boot Windows10 on bootcamp if the last boot was on parallels, and vice versa.

    "I want to share a detailed scenario. Suppose I'm running Windows on Parallels and I log in using my iCloud password. Later, when I start Windows through Boot Camp, it asks for my iCloud password again. So, every time I switch between Boot Camp and Parallels, I need to re-enter my iCloud password. I hope that my explanation has been sufficiently clear."
