How do I remove my ex-partner from my iCloud account?

Well, I was going to share my iCloud with my boyfriend that was living with me and I entered the wrong year of birth and I have his ID in my photos to prove it. I would know like to remove him because he has gone back to his ex-wife and they are breaking into my passwords.

I am not clear as to what you mean by he is in your iCloud. I don't think you mean Family Sharing because that would not let him get access to your passwords.


An account can only be set to one person at a time. You cannot add another person, hence my confusion at your statement. You can't have added him to your account. You cannot have had his birthday set unless what you actually did was changed your birthday on your account to his birthday. If you were sharing your account with him then change your password.
