r/applehelp on Reddit: Apple ID account recovery PLEASE PLEASE!
March 1, 2022 -
So I dropped my phone in the water and it automatically punched in codes and locked itself out which is still fine, I luckily had Apple Watch connect to receive text and phone calls but I wanted to see how much data I have in my Apple ID, so there I punched in multiple wrong password and got locked out of that too and went into security lockout and now there was no other way to reset my Apple ID because I didn’t have any other device with that Apple ID signed in, I go into account recovery on the 8th of feb 2022, after providing few information I couldn’t provide my card information because I lost that card so basically in this scenario the wait time increases
Now I enter account recovery on 8th of feb and I get an email from Apple saying on 22nd feb I will receive a text or a phone call to reset my password , since I was in a lockout I wasn’t receiving any texts on Apple Watch but only calls so i waited until that day I didn’t receive any call from them so I go into another account recovery now the email says it’s 4th March luckily I bought another brand new phone just so I can receive text from Apple,
So my question is do we usually receive a text or a phone call also when I called Apple support one of the made was like i don’t see your account in an recovery mode I was like how is that possible ? Also how do I check the status of the account recovery process?PLEASE HELP ME

Dropped your phone in water and it automatically punched codes and locked itself? Then I punched in multiple wrong passwords and got locked out? Then in account recovery I could not provide card (?) information because I lost the card. Incredible story.

r/applehelp on Reddit: Apple ID recovery process is ridiculous
July 26, 2023 -
I've been trying for a month and half to get my account recovered. I originally set it up for a work phone years ago and forgot about it. Now 4 years later I'm trying to get access to my old account. Tried forgot password but don't have access to my old work phone so initiated account recovery. Waited a month with no notifications only to find it was immediately deactivated after recovery so I had to wait 2 weeks while support tried reactivating it. Only to find I had to AGAIN recover it because my new phone number was never added to the account. 2.5 months of waiting to activate an ID. Oh and I didn't get any email notifications or text notifications like I should have. Piss poor service from an obviously out of their depth apple

AppleID recovery is supposed to be the final option for people who can’t prove their identity. It takes some long because Apple gives a theoretical account owner lot’s of opportunities to interrupt the process.

Don't blame Apple because you didn't change your trusted number on your account before switching phone numbers. The reason Apple can't do anything is because the security of your account is your responsibility. That being said once you start account recovery don't do anything with the account. Don't try to sign in, don't try to reset the password. Nothing. It will reset it and you're back at day 1. Don't start account recovery from a device that account is signed into. In fact you really shouldn't even use the device for account things until it's over. Calls texts and nonsense is fine but don't mess with the account. Next. Once you start account recovery the only thing you should do is go to iforgot.apple.com. It will tell you in real time how much longer you have. Check in randomly. Make sure your countdown is going. It will tell you exactly where your link is going to. It should have been a phone number you can access because you would have typed it in during the process.it will count down the hours as well. If you're struggling once it has completed call support so they can walk you through it. They can't speed it up but they can help you at the end.
