Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

My ex wife took over a Google email address years ago and keeps changing my Apple ID password, deleting conversations. I know she’s doing it from a computer. Help.

You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.

Yea zero help. Been there done that. It’s aggravating that everyone thinks this is so simple and that they’re not being outsmarted by someone who barely graduated high school. How do you use a google email, linked to an Apple ID? She found out I changed my phone number and called me without ever being given the number. Apple can’t figure this out and yet blasts their “SECURE AND PRIVACY” BS everywhere. Joke.
