Not an Android issue. Google requires the current Google password to change the Google password. You can't change the Google password by just using the simple device passcode.(Also an Android issue, let's not be remiss here)
I dont understand why apple doesn’t enforce the option when a screen time password is setup to use the Apple ID (or not) to unlock the screen time password. If a iPhone user doesn’t want to use the Apple ID to unlock their screen time password the option for forgot password shouldn’t even appear.This isn't a new issue though, as a passcode is the original unlock method.
The problem is the number of connected services available on these devices since the original device was launched.

You are not SOL on Goggle/android. There are other ways to recover your google password if you forgot it. But none of those ways is by using a simple device passcode.And android users it sounds like you are SOL if you forget your google password. One extreme isn’t better than the other.
The point is that the passcode has way too much power, and having it gives you the power to change your Apple ID password, which can potentially wreak havoc in your life. Changing the Apple ID password should be more involved, somehow....what, exactly, was the point of the 'report'?

So what's the solution here people ? Under the screen touch id !!??
Let’s discuss the ways if all you have is your phone?You are not SOL on Goggle/android. There are other ways to recover your google password if you forgot it. But none of those ways is by using a simple device passcode.
That’s the point. If one forgets their current password the person is SOL? I’m guessing most thefts are iphone due to the popularity of the iPhone.Good question.
Asking for the current password when trying to rest your Apple ID password would help. Ask why are 95% of these thefts iPhone and only 5% Android.
You are in far worse shape if you have no way to access any type of device on the internet in 2023.Let’s discuss the ways if all you have is your phone?
No the person is not SOL.That’s the point. If one forgets their current password the person is SOL? I’m guessing most thefts are iphone due to the popularity of the iPhone.

Going round in circles at this point. Please explain with only an android phone and a forgotten google password what your options are.You are in far worse shape if you have no way to access any type of device on the internet in 2023.
Whatever the solution ends up being, I’m rolling my own workaround so I’m not afraid to carry my iPhone out of my home.So what's the solution here people ? Under the screen touch id !!??
No need for me to explain a known fact to you. I don't need to go in circles with you.....again. Just like I proved you wrong about the Screen Time flaw..lol! Go do your own research.Going round in circles at this point. Please explain with only an android phone and a forgotten google password what your options are.

Because apple doesn’t consider changing the Apple ID password when the device password is known a security risk?Wow....I opened an Apple security ticket. I explained the security flaw in detail and even suggested a possible solution. They just responded back with the below. Sad! Maybe it will take more people to file security tickets and more media publicity to get this flaw fixed.

That’s not the point I was making. According to apple the functionality is working as expected. And in the case where the password is compromised either out of duress or social engineering the software still is working as expected.Yes....and security is only as good as its weakest link. As with some other security flaws that took them awhile to acknowledge and fix, I guess this will take more pressure.
