Stolen iPhone -> iCloud Password Change -> Logged out of all devices including Mac!
My son is studying abroad for college and had his iPhone stolen. He contacted the police and they said that they were not going to do anything because this happens so often. He did do the following though:
- We contacted the provider and marked the number as stolen, disabling the EMEI.
- He listed the iPhone as Lost.
- He wiped the device.
- He changed his iCloud Password.... This created a problem.
Changing the iCloud Password logged him out of his Mac and since he has 2FA configured, he can't get back in until he gets a new phone, right? The real problem is though, he is abroad and won't be able to get the same number until he returns home to the US. So 2FA is still not going to work because it's tied to his mobile number?
