Can’t transfer iCloud data to my new iPhone

I have tried several times to transfer my iCloud data to my new iPhone but the iCloud data isn’t syncing. Whenever they asked the password of my old iPhone and I provided it, they kept saying it was wrong password and I don’t know why

iPhone SE, iOS 17

How can I transfer data without logging into my Apple Account? My Apple ID was hacked and password was changed but did not want to lose all information. Created a new Apple ID and merged the two on my phone. Bought a new phone and want to transfer all information onto the new one. Is it possible without logging into first Apple ID but transfer all the information on it as well as the second one? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

New Apple device asking for password from old device My new phone won’t update because it keeps asking for my old phones password which I kept the same so both my old phone and new one home have the same Apple ID and same password but it will not allow me to get past it. It was suggested that I allow this device to get authenticated through another device well I’m new to Apple so what are those steps ??? Why won’t my new phone simply update and transfer my old stuff to my new phone and why won’t it simply allow itself to update? This is really way way too hard and frustrating the hell out of me fml I’m so angry

An iPhone does not have a password. It has a passcode.

An Apple Account has a password.

What are the exact words of the request for information? Are you supplying exactly what is being requested?
