Is using iForgot secure?
Can I use iForgot to remove the Activation Lock on my device?
What information do I need to use iForgot?
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?
Literally the only Apple product I use is Apple Music. Its such a good program. I needed to reset my password though because of some janky UI stuff with Apple Music. So I try to reset my password from my S22. "Use an apple device." So I grab my wife's iPhone, "put in the password from the iPhone you are trying to reset." Apple, wtf is that? Not everybody has an iPhone because not everybody wants an iPhone. Why do I need an iPhone to reset my password? Why do I need a Mac or an iPad to reset my password in a timely manner? Why tf should I need to buy into your ecosystem to RESET MY PASSWORD? Is there a workaround for this or will I get the joy of waiting for a few days for a password reset?
