My husband has passed away and I cannot access iCloud because I can’t change information and no password works. Do you have a solution?

Will there be a fix in future for people locked out of their loved ones technology?

Well … it’s perhaps unfortunately too late for you, but it’s already been fixed w/ “Legacy Contact.”


If your husband didn’t designate you; might he have designated another individual? His pre-designated executor perhaps?


However … assuming that doesn’t apply to your situation, there is still a “paper method”available which Apple has provided for years.
