Known Issue: Attempting to create a new Apple ID via GameCenter may cause a crash.
Known Issue: iForgot links may work intermittently.

Known Issue: If you upgrade your Apple ID to use two-factor authentication, iTunes purchases on Mac and Windows and store purchases on Apple TV will require you to append a six-digit verification code to the end of your password on every purchase. The six-digit code will display automatically on your iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan devices, or can be sent to your trusted phone number via a text message or phone call.
Known Issue: If your Apple ID uses two-factor authentication, you may not be able to sign in to services that use Apple ID on iOS 9 and Mac OS X El Capitan beta installations earlier than Beta 3.
Known Issue: If you disable two-factor authentication and set a new password at iForgot.apple.com, the password requirements are not indicated so your password may not be accepted.

Workaround: To make sure the health database is not lost, make an encrypted iTunes backup prior to installing this seed.
Known Issue: Although keeping the device unlocked for the duration of the upgrade process reduces the risk of the database being destroyed, it's recommended that you create a backup so that you can recover the database if you encounter this issue.
