Forgot my apple id security questions.

Several years ago Apple transitioned to using two factor authentication instead of security questions. You can continue to use security questions if you already use them and they are working for you, but if you have problems then they no longer get direct support. You can try the directions in this support article If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support but the article is labeled "archived" and may contain information that no longer applies. If the instructions work then fine; if they do not (e.g., you see “not enough information”*) then you will have to change to the newer security method if you can. Over the past few years Apple has been persistently encouraging users to switch to the newer two factor authentication security system. For those who have disregarded their encouraging, Apple will likely only help you to now change to two factor authentication, if even that is possible. Follow the instructions in the "Turn on two-factor authentication for your Apple ID" section in this support article --> Two-factor authentication for Apple Account - Apple Support to try to change to two factor authentication.

If you still need help, contact Apple Account support at this link ➞ https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=cups&PGF=PGF63005

Select "Other Apple Account Topics", then "Security concerns or account compromised." This will give you a chat or telephone call option.

If Apple can not or will not help you transition to two factor authentication then it is quite possible you will have to simply abandon the old account and everything it contained.

Good luck!

*See the third page of this discussion Unable to Reset Apple ID Security Questio… - Apple Community Some people talk about getting out of a “loop” by logging in a different way. I am not really following what they are talking about but maybe you can see if it helps.

The use of security questions is removed when using Two Factor Authentication. That way you will get a verification code when someone tries to access your account. Otherwise with unauthorized attempts to access your account, it will be locked and require you to answer those security questions that are now easily compromised through Social Engineering with so much information provided by users on Social Media. You can try contacting Apple directly, but it may be the case that you have to create a new Apple Account and turn on 2FA if it is available in your region. For most Security Questions are no longer being used.

I use security questions but my answers have nothing to do with the questions being asked. Apple only offered a limited set of questions that were pretty irrelevant to my upbringing, so I just had to come up with three answers that are unrelated. First car, 32watermelon; school mascot, IThinkThereforeIAm, or the suchlike. I have note of the questions I chose and their answers in a secure location.

Apart from ASC I don't do social media. No Facebook or TikTok for me. ;-)
