Forgot my Apple ID password and need to reset it but can’t seem to do so without knowing my Apple ID password. Am I stupid or is this just horrible design?
Just a rant: there’s no way to reset your iCloud password if you don’t know your iCloud password.
If you know the phone passcode and depending on the iOS version, go to settings > name at the top > password and security. You can change your iCloud password since the device is signed into that account.

How do I reset my Apple ID password?
You couldn’t find out how to reset which is extremely easy to find with Google, you know that company you said you want to go with due to your own incompetence?
Took me 5 seconds

Fact is you forgot your password. Moving to a Pixel isn’t going to fix that incompetence.

I have an old 7 plus that I’ve decided to sell (downsizing) but I haven’t used it in a few years and have no idea what the Apple ID password was. So that means I can’t turn off find my to wipe it so I can sell it. I’ve tried selecting forgot password through both the settings and at iforgot.apple.com but it just sends me an OTP which I need to reset it. Problem is it sends the code to the email associated with the account which is an iCloud email and of course I can’t access the iCloud email to get the code to reset the password because I can’t sign into iCloud without the @!,$;:/ password! Am I stupid or was this system designed by a sadist? How on earth do you fix this if it seems you’re locked out at every turn?
