feel like im losing my grip on reality dealing with passwords/accounts nowadays
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 21st, 2025 9:00 AM Author: norrusu aturantidu Im trying to get an upgrade for my iPhone For some reason, the CS is demanding I login to my apple account, something I never really use, to disable my "Find My" Device lock on my phone
I dont recall my details. I go to reset my apple account password, which then asks me to turn on bluetooth on my PC and phone while scanning a QR code on my PC screen using the phones camera, All while im on the phone already with the customer service guy JUST TO GET THE RESET CODE. Not even to login, this is just to receive a code, to then reset the password
This then "hangs" for about a minute doing jack shit, I cancel out of it with zero progress made on accessing my iCloud bullshit, CS guy is still talking to me
I try another "method" & send a reset code to my email (an older one), which I also dont have the password for
So I need to get that emails pw reset, with an EVEN older "backup recovery" secondary 2FA email acct I break into both of them
I open both of the inboxes, theyre completely inundated with spam , pornbots, 200 popups asking me about cookies, preferences, "smart inbox sorting" etc, everything barely functional & lagging, I cant even sift through to most recent email since its all "smart" sorted by "category" so the only emails I can see are literal porn bots and things selling me fake pills
I get back out of this russian nesting doll of email authentications, back to my Apple account, and finally put in a "code"
"Thank you. We’ll send you an update soon. We are evaluating your information to determine when you will be able to reset your password."
This is what I am now looking at At one point not flame also I was asked if I wanted to enable a fingerprint 2FA for my Hotmail account from 2004, I seriously almost lost my vision Still reeling from all of this
Also I cant upgrade my phone now until I have my account back! |

The edge browser has one that is synced with your account so it persists on any device. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5778256&forum_id=2/en-en/#49288466) |

Date: September 21st, 2025 9:20 AM Author: norrusu aturantidu I use this but I can never tell where the vault "emanates" from,like, I have a password manager on Chrome, then a different "vault" of passwords under apple, a separate discrete password "app" , keychain etc, none of them seem to be horizontally integrated if I change device, browser
I hit "remember me" everytime, never clear my history etc, still nada
it doesnt really matter anyway since most of the passwords get saved wrong or under the wrong account, then I spend hours pasting in "codes" from my SMS, various emails, fingerprint, face ID etc to break into anything I need its insane |

Date: September 21st, 2025 11:09 AM Author: Josh_Allen My work computer (ie the one I actually use because I’m in front of it all day) doesn’t permit these, so I’m constantly changing pw on that but then have to manually update it in Apple. It’s insanity. So now I just do a lot on my phone/ipad which is annoying and not nearly efficient. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5778256&forum_id=2/en-en/#49288688) |

Date: September 21st, 2025 11:38 AM Author: Josh_Allen Use same pw for basically everything, although it’s becoming difficult because some want 16 digits, some want min 10, some don’t permit ___ or require ___. I feel like a boomer. The time required to manage/maintain all this is maddening.
My nightmare today is to “reauthorize” some content in Sonos app. I think they’re my wife’s accounts but who really knows, so I look forward to that tension later. “I don’t have an account there.” “Try your Hotmail.” “ I don’t remember that password.” “It’s stored on your Chromebook.” “James used that for homework and didn’t charge it.” And the Sonos soundbar cuts out for some sources but not others. I want to scream. |

Date: September 21st, 2025 11:38 AM Author: norrusu aturantidu Update: I didnt accept my Apple recent updates "Terms and Conditions" which apparently rips out the backend on all attempts at resetting your account. Great use of 3 hours (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5778256&forum_id=2/en-en/#49288744) |

Date: September 21st, 2025 11:42 AM Author: Paralegal Dhananjay It's really frustrating and every "advancement" in security and SaaS in general is about making it more difficult for the actual user while lining the pockets of the jewturd firm exploiting you.

Date: September 21st, 2025 11:45 AM Author: OYT: Dinosaur Hunter ( ) The worst thing about Apple products is how authentication is tied to their borderline useless iCloud infrastructure - a product that no one with any need for real cloud storage or capacity uses. It is mostly a background process that backs up an image of your phone/device to Apple’s servers, so you hardly ever log in or even remember that you have an iCloud account. But then when you have to onboard a new device, it’s “sign in to to iCloud, then find this 2FA code on your OTHER device and approve it there, then come back here and enter the code and sign into iCloud hehehehe” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5778256&forum_id=2/en-en/#49288775) |

Date: September 21st, 2025 12:18 PM Author: 130k in childhood bedroom If you try to put one foot in or spread the MFA and vaulting across companies you will be in a world of hurt. I have just accepted I will be locked into the apple ecosystem forever and have turned everything into a biometric passkey. I try to login to shit and it just face IDs me on my phone and it’s over.

Date: September 21st, 2025 12:23 PM Author: excellent subthread I spent 90 minutes fucking around with a similar issue yesterday the details of which I will spare you.
I fucking hate the modern world. If I could revert the human race back to 1960s tech and forbid advancements I would do so in a heartbeat. |
