Adding to the iCloud story, I forgot my security questions and I was able to have the AppleCare agent over the phone reset it for me after talking about what apps I've purchased recently.

I have experience at Apple with Account Security and that's a clear violation of SOP. That's a coaching opportunity for the advisor.
