What is iOS Account Manager?

Me to, Same problem. So far in my research take a moment to check out MDM (Mobile Device Management) Seems to jive with our problems. I just don’t know who (good suspicion who) did it & the password to remove it. Anyone out there know to remove it ?

I’m still researching, so far I believe if an MDM has been put on your account it gives them full access to your device. Take a moment to read it. Seems to me it is answering what is- IOS ACCOUNT MANAGER If anyone can please tell me how to remove it I’d Appreciate it.

What are you still researching? Lawrence Finch explained twice on page four alone of this thread what iOS Manager is:

iOS Account Manager is a Google app that coordinates the various Google features that you have installed on your phone so you don’t have to log into each separately, such as Google Search, gmail, Google Translate, Google One, Google Photos, Google Chrome, Youtube, etc.

Beyond the fact that Google collects huge amounts of information on you and sells it to advertisers, there's nothing especially nefarious about it.

It has been explained several times in this thread, including in the post just above yours.

Thank you so much for this. If my bank accounts and every email account weren’t being compromised repeatedly, maybe I wouldn’t worry about it as much. But the “iOS account manager” tied to Google is a discovery made after investigating what could be going on.. (why do I not see settings I should be able to see, how is someone getting into all my accounts and changing the passwords AND authentication device, why does this keep happening after buying multiple brand new devices, changing all pws frequently, creating all new accounts and still dealing with the same stuff for months) is there any such group outside of this thread where we can discuss live and hopefully get to a resolution quicker??

I think it’s Pegasus as well. Have you tried getting in touch with authorities? I had/have a case open, but as soon as the investigators told me all my passwords were out somewhere public, and I needed to change them (which I obviously had MANY times) I was dismissed. When fraudulent charges on my accounts came through I called back and the agents conveniently don’t work in that department anymore so I would have to start explaining every bit to a different group of people.

based on what everyone on this thread has mentioned, it’s clearly been detrimental to our lives and all we’ve been asking for is answers but everyone likes to stay quiet these days. Something definitely needs to be done because paying all these taxes to gov entities that don’t even protect you is wild.

How did you get ahold of google I need to call them to find out how to regain access to my old email address and I have so many and I can’t remember what email address I created for the life of me but I’m pretty sure they can look it up some how. If anyone can help me.

It almost certainly does mean your account is hacked. No one listen to these people because I am being hacked by this same issue and I know that I am being hacked because it is my husband who is doing it and I’m just noticing now that he is part of scamming ring and I’m collecting evidence to send in to the fbi. If there is a certain instances where this isn’t the case, then I apologize in advance, but yes, this can mean that your account is compromised and most likely it’s in like stealth mode. You won’t even notice and you probably never would’ve. I am not spreading panic over false news either way because this is actually happening to me and it’s just now clicking in as to why my phone keeps warning me of security errors on my Gmail account after I repeat the security check. I don’t even know how to get rid of it yet and I’m still new to the threats as well. but what I notice is that when your device is showing up under that one and it’s saying new sign in as like it’s the newest one that logged in that should be the one that’s at the top. Normally people don’t notice that they’re being hacked because these people do it slowly they don’t even actually mess with your account. They run in stealth mode and they steal from you dollars over long periods of time. Or one day they’ll get you deciding to spoof a phone call with the cable company but once they have you they have you unless you Nippet in the bud and switch all your information meeting your accounts and all your passcodes and put two factor authentication on them my situation is worse because my husband knew everything about me. They’re not stealing my money though they’re doing it to harass me. Basically you have the fake account and they have the real one. It’s like an image you have a copy of it it’s a duplicate account.

IOS Managed Device or Account means you’ve been hacked, your account now belongs to the hacker who has control of your credential manager, probably reconfigured your entire OS to run off of his/her “Remote Desktop Server” which moves out laterally once he has a tiny foothold. You may have clicked on an email or downloaded a fake “Chrome” application or something like that. I know this because my devices have all been compromised since 2018. Its all through use of “Sharepoint”, “Teams”, JavaScript, GoScript, and you are most likely now a part of an “Enterprise” meaning you have an IT administrator you have to get permission from to even change your firewall settings. His platforms are Azure, GitHub, and Cloudflare mostly. A good way to be sure is to check your BIOS menu when you turn in the computer. If it has been modified it will have the version of the BIOS in those settings (press F1 when starting machine), you will be able to see any sections that you can’t click on. Those have been preset by a hacker to redirect at startup to their fake OS, and usually record (audio and video), as well as keystrokes on your keyboard, to sell your information on dark web or to just eat up your data so they don’t have to pay for it themselves (gamers do this). Anyway, good luck.

You are hacked with preset settings in your registry set to persist. I’ve been going through this for 5 years, and $12,000 later (spent in security people, apps, devices, firewalls, vpn’s, you name it! Hacker has your personal data it will trigger a bot EVERYTIME you use your real name no matter what device you use, and nobody in law enforcement, or at customer support will even speak with you if it’s Windows, nor will your ISP (They’d be liable if they agreed you are hacked). Laws are screwed up for non-enterprise customers. You can’t even get security as a service for your network unless you have like 50 end users or more. I suggest you read your license and it WILL have somewhere in that explaining how you are an end-user, and tells you to return the product if you don’t want to give up your privacy.

Hope that helps

It’s a hacker who has taken over your device and you are now most likely just an end-user in his sick game of “How many people can I exploit today”. Check your properties on any app or if your files say .dll or .exe, or .html, and if you check your devices manager and see a printer that says .xml or something similar, it’s actually Microsoft Notepad that’s the server controlling your device. Uninstalling it works for about 60 secs before its “persistent” settings reinstall it almost immediately. Good luck as I have yet to stop my hack for more than 11 days was the longest.

No, that's not the case at all. iOS Account Manager is a legitimate Google app. Fearmongering doesn't help anyone.

The file extensions .dll, .exe (not used on Macs or iPhone, by the way) and .xml are all legitimate file extensions. Microsoft Notepad is a legitimate text editing app for Windows. It's not a server and it can't control anything.

Google support what’s that for 4 years I’ve tried everything to contact google support and never once hit a response. All email text or anything no matter what I try always says you have reached a station that is. No longer monitored 🙈even tried call ,but no luck ever

I believe it’s some type of management profile like you’d find in a school app. My settings constantly get changed notifications turned off, no matter how many times I change my password doesn’t matter.

this has taken over my life for nearly two years now- even though I went and purchased own phone with own account he/they/it still was able to do the same on new phone, computer and TV

has anyone found a solution? this is intrusive and is causing much trauma to my life. More so because no one knows or understands what O’m talking about.

this includes devices and banking being (what appears to be) used as an asset
