feat(cli): add --one-factor to icloud devices - #359
Conversation
timlaing#325 taught the library to sign in with the password alone, closing timlaing#298. It changed no CLI files, so the people who asked for it -- "play a sound on my phone without a full MFA login" -- still cannot get at it. This wires it up. `icloud auth login --one-factor` builds the service with `pause_2fa=True` and skips the 2FA gate rather than prompting. The session it produces is deliberately untrusted, so the command says plainly that only `icloud devices` will work with it. When a valid trust token brings the session back trusted anyway, the flag costs nothing and stays quiet. The other half was in the library. Find My's 450 recovery called `authenticate(force_refresh=True)` with no service name, so it escalated to a full 2FA login -- the exact behaviour timlaing#298 reported. It now names the service, which lets Apple's one-factor grant apply. Naming that service is a trap, so it is a constant now. Apple calls it `find` in the `apps` map and `findme` in `webservices`, and the one-factor lookup reads the former. Passing `findme` -- the spelling the rest of the library uses for this service -- matches nothing and falls through to a full login with no log line saying why. `FIND_MY_APP_KEY` carries the explanation, and a test pins both the value and the failure mode. Checked against a live account: of the 13 entries in `apps`, `find` is the only one with `canLaunchWithOneFactor`, so this grant really is Find My's alone.

Converting to draft. Testing this end to end showed the design does not work — details in #358, summary here:
The What survives review here is the The workable shape looks like |
Apple lets one service through on the password alone: Find My. `find` is the only app it flags `canLaunchWithOneFactor`, which is why icloud.com/find opens in a private window after just a password. timlaing#325 taught the library that trick and closed timlaing#298; no CLI surface came with it, so the people who asked -- "play a sound on my phone without a full MFA login" -- still could not use it. This is the second attempt. The first put the flag on `auth login`, which cannot work: Apple issues no `X-APPLE-WEBAUTH-TOKEN` for a session that skipped the 2FA challenge and answers `/validate` on one with a 421, so the session died at process exit while the command reported success. Measuring that is what produced this design instead. Since the session cannot outlive the command, the flag belongs on the command: icloud devices list --one-factor Login and query happen in one process and nothing is persisted. The cookies go to a temporary directory, so running this never disturbs a session you already have -- without that, a password-only login would overwrite a working trusted session with one only Find My accepts. `erase` does not take the flag. A remote wipe is the one irreversible action here and it should cost a full session; a test pins that the command cannot reach the one-factor path even if someone later adds the option back. An account Apple has not granted the capability is told so before any Find My request, rather than meeting an authentication error further down. `FIND_MY_APP_KEY` exists because the two maps disagree: Apple calls this service `find` in `apps` and `findme` in `webservices`, and a lookup under the wrong key finds nothing and reads as "not eligible". Verified live: the command returns real devices with no 2FA prompt, and the stored session is byte-identical afterwards. On such a session `account` answers 401 and `drive` answers 421, so the documented limits are measured rather than assumed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

devices list, sound, show, message, lost-mode, and export as supported commands;
retain the statement that devices erase does not accept the option.

resolved by the FakeDevice fixture, such as its configured name or “device-1”.
Capture the _runner().invoke result and assert a successful exit code before
checking one_factor.assert_not_called(), ensuring the erase path completes
instead of silently passing after device resolution aborts.

End-to-end verification, run from the CLI on a real account. This covers the cold-start case the description listed as untested. From a fully logged-out state — no session file, no trust token: $ icloud auth logout
Logged out and cleared local session.
$ icloud devices list --one-factor --username <apple-id>
<12 devices listed>
$ icloud auth status
You are not logged into any iCloud accounts.No 2FA prompt, no code entered. The command works and leaves nothing behind, which is the whole design: a session that skipped the 2FA challenge cannot be resumed, so it is never written down. The original request in #298 — play a sound without a full MFA login: $ icloud devices sound "<device>" --one-factor --username <apple-id>
Requested sound alert for <device>.The sound played. Isolation, checked by hash rather than by inspection. With a trusted session already in place: $ shasum .../<account>.session .../<account>.cookiejar

CodeRabbit caught that it passed `"Fake Device"`, which matches neither the fixture's id nor its name, so `resolve_device` aborted first and the erase never ran. `one_factor.assert_not_called()` was then true because nothing happened at all -- it held only because the API assignment happens to sit above device resolution. Use the name the fixture resolves, assert the exit code, and assert the erase landed, so the guard cannot be satisfied by an early abort. Also list every `devices` command that takes `--one-factor` in the README. Naming only `list` and `sound` left a reader unable to tell that `lost-mode` takes it too, and that one locks a device and can set a passcode. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Closes #358. Follows up #325, which closed #298.
Apple lets one service through on the password alone: Find My.
findis the only app it flagscanLaunchWithOneFactor, which is whyicloud.com/findopens in a private window after just a password. #325 taught the library that trick; no CLI surface came with it, so the person who asked in #298 — "play a sound on my phone" without a full MFA login — still could not use it.This PR was rewritten after the first design failed under testing. The original put the flag on
auth login. That cannot work, and the measurement is worth recording:pause_2falogin succeeds, but Apple issues noX-APPLE-WEBAUTH-TOKENfor it, andPOST /setup/ws/1/validateon such a session returns421. The session cannot be written down and picked up later.auth login --one-factorreported "Authenticated session is ready", wroteaccounts.json, and every following command said "You are not logged into any iCloud accounts". A flag that hands back a dead session is worse than no flag.Since the session cannot outlive the process that made it, the flag belongs on the command rather than on login.
What this does
Login and query happen in one process; nothing is persisted. The password comes from the keyring or a prompt.
It cannot disturb an existing session. The paused login's cookies go to a temporary directory. Without that, a password-only sign-in would overwrite a working trusted session with one that only Find My accepts — I did exactly that to my own session while testing, which is how the requirement was found.
erasedoes not take the flag. A remote wipe is the one irreversible action in the group and should cost a full session. A test pins that the command cannot reach the one-factor path, not merely that the option is hidden — the first version of that test passed against a mutant that wired erase straight into it.An ineligible account is told so up front, before any Find My request, rather than meeting an authentication error further down.
findvsfindmeApple names this service

pause_2fa, pointing the cookies at the real session directory, skipping the eligibility check, using thefindmekey, ignoring the flag, and givingerasethe one-factor path are all caught. Full suite 940 passing on 3.10–3.14; ruff, mypy, pylint and cspell clean.Not included
The first version also passed
service=FIND_MY_APP_KEYinto Find My's 450 recovery. That is reverted:_authenticate_with_credentials_service()POSTs a raw password toaccountLogin, which Apple answers with421, so_try_service_one_factor_login()swallows the failure and falls through to a full login regardless of the service name. Nothing in the repo has ever passedservice=, so that path has not run against current Apple auth. It looks like dead code, but removing it is a separate question and not one I wanted to fold in here.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
