Apple ID Two Factor Authentication is Flawed

You cannot reset a password without the correct password.

Show me how you can reset a password on an iPhone?

FYI.

• To reset a forgotten password, you have to restore as new
• To do that you'll need the screen lock passcode
• To restore as new you also need to switch iCloud > Find My iPhone OFF
• To switch FMiP, you need the password (again back to square one)
• And if you have settings to delete data on your iPhone after 10 tries then nothing will get you through.
• You heard of Activation Lock?

Good luck with your hacking, maybe you will be the first who can succeed.

Anyway I have enough of this discussion. Good bye.

Yes, I understand. It's you who do not know how 2FA is implemented.

As stated 2FA will be used everywhere, sooner or later by every tech company.

Yes, you can put all your eggs in one basket, it is the flaw of your thought.

Anyway your question is answered, good luck.

There are more millions who think otherwise.

Use another device that suits you better.

You knew much but not enough to know that you are wrong.

FYI: If your phone is lost or stolen, you won't even get into the phone (passcode locked) to retrieve 2FA.

2FA is only if someone uses your Apple ID and password on another Apple device that the 2FA is required

Good luck to you, I'm off helping others.

If someone takes your SIM card, it will not know your Apple ID & password so no 2FA is sent.

You got that?

To reset your iCloud account, the thief needs your Apple ID & password. (Hints: It's not on the SIM card)

FYI, Screen lock passcode is also not the Apple ID password or 2FA which the thief needs to get into your iPhone.

You forgot Complex Password is important and should be kept secret and difficult to guess.

But sorry if you're that stupid and let everyone know the password including their dogs, there's no help.

In another word, there's no security system that can help someone who is careless.

2FA flaw is the user which no security system can remedy. Case closed.

Yes you do need a password with or without the iPhone.

Do the thief knows your Apple ID and password?

Educate yourself so we can have an educated discussion.

Apple engineers have thought long and through, I trusted them to do their job well then your speculations and conspiracy.

You can't change my iCloud without

• My Apple ID
• My password

Knowing/having my phone number and Apple ID can get you nowhere.

Please educate yourself.

You can have more than one trusted number and landline number can also be used.

You do not have a trusted friend or relative or a landline?

FYI: 2FA will be implemented everywhere sooner or later.

Apple 2FA is secure.

Read my post again, you have options.
