What recovery key? I must have lost mine. ID verification? I never provided my ID to Apple when creating my account.

Re:Passkeys Are Not a Trap on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @12:30PM (#50090390)

You have one Apple device that gets lost. You buy another and try to log in. Apple expects you to approve the login with the lost device. What now?
