How my brother's iCloud account was stolen

Does anyone know if this is the case when you have the Recovery codes set up?

Another idea, what about Legacy contact? I’d not be ashamed to “use it in any way possible” to re-gain access to something that was stolen from me.

For 2FA - yes. Not for when you lose your password AFAIK.

Hi, What I meant was the special security feature that Apple introduced last year (I think, all the years feel the same since 2020…). You can opt out of any “apple-assisted support” for account recovery and you receive 28char unlock key to recover your account.
