Yes, that recovery key is a bad option to start with, IMO. I wonder if I could add myself as a recovery contact, as I have two phone lines on the same iPhone, however they share the same Apple ID, so not sure that would work. To ponder…

No, I think the recovery contact must have a different Apple ID.

Your Apple account is very hard to be compromised with a 2 factor authentication.

No they don’t.
Apple is not Google or Meta.

that's just what they tell you. believe it if you want.

No, that’s what informed people can easily understand.

Could be a good idea. I’m using my son’s Apple ID (mostly because having an ex wife I don’t trust her so much 😅)

Please keep me updated on your progress. It seems like one needs to reset the iCloud app for windows and re sync everything. She has 2 TB of stuff on there…

Correct. You need to sign out, delete the app, restart and install the new one from the app store. Sign in and you should be good.

It just took us 4 days to re sync and download 2TB of data… tech is so convenient!
