Resolving Apple ID Verification Conflicts: Removing a Phone Number from Unauthorized Accounts

My number is used as two step authentication for different apple ids. So I want to create apple id for my own but it is impossible because too many devices are using my number and I don’t have any access to them or their phone to delete my number from their accounts. Please help me what should I do or how can I remove my number from their apple ids?

Well then, as sberman posted …


… you’re “out” of alternatives.


You should be sensitive to the increased “compromisability” of your account and limit the sensitive info placed on your devices accordingly.


Ensure that your Account Password is complex, long, and known ONLY to you.


Ditto for your device’s Passcode.


Ensure that ALL “unauthorized” devices are “disconnected” when you change your account password.
