What I find most strange in Apple is the contradiction in their behavior: on the one hand, they have a second password for Screen time - Which is good for self control. on the other hand, they don't have a second password for Screen time API - Which is bad for self control. on the one hand, they have individual Authentication - Which is good for self control. on the other hand, the individual Authentication can be removed in 10 seconds - Which is bad for self control. I don't get it.

Yeah, it's a major design flaw in Screen time API. which renders it useless to any user above age 13.

Thanks for letting me know !

I hope Freedom app developers try to talk to Apple about it.

I fear it's even worse. Apple has updated their documentation and said in very clear words, that individual authentication will remove any restriction that was meant to prevent a bypass. in other words: the option to bypass/delete the individual authentication is not a bug. it's a feature ! this is really concerning Check here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/familycontrols/authorizationcenter/requestauthorization(for:)
