Jailbreak Tweaks to check out

It seems like we’ve been waiting a while to hear back from Saurik about his progress on official iOS 11 support for Cydia and Substrate, but meanwhile, many developers are producing tweaks that work on devices jailbroken with CoolStar’s Electra tool.

In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the jailbreak tweaks released throughout the past week. As always, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorites and then outline the rest of the releases afterward.

What to do if you use two-factor authentication and can’t sign in or reset your password

In today's day and age, there are chances that your various passwords can be compromised. This can happen even if you have taken just about every precaution possible.

One of the most prevalent and popular precautions has been the introduction of two-factor authentication (2FA). For the unaware, 2FA requires a second input from the user whenever signing into your account.

Thankfully, Apple has joined the movement in recent years in an effort to keep Apple ID's protected. However, there are sometimes where you forget your password, don't have your device handy, and are locked out.

We are going to take a look at what you can do in the event that you are locked out and can’t sign in or reset your Apple ID password.

This tweak lets you close folders with a pinch gesture

Folders can be convenient for keeping your iPhone or iPad’s Home screen methodical, but Apple could have put more thought into the folder-closing experience; more specifically, the gesture used to exit an open folder.

Fortunately, the jailbreak community now offers the perfect solution. A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed PinchToCloseFolders by iOS developer Maddox lets you close out of folders with a simple pinch gesture.
