Don't lose you Apple ID password, guess too many times, and go into account recovery. Don't. Do. It.
And for all that is wholesome and good in this world, don't find yourself in that situation while your Mac is not signed into iCloud. Because guess why? You need the password. The one you don't have and are trying to recover. You need your fucking password to change your fucking password.
Let's just say that I'm exploring the outer reaches of a circular logic universe with the good folks at Apple.
1.5 months fucking around with this. H - O - L - Y Fuck.

This is why the Throbber always uses "JennStergers2FakeTits*" as a password.
The guy calls, and despite a case number, we start in on the same five fucking moves I've done 50 other fucking times with 50 other fucking Apple jockeys. So I says to him, I says, "Hey man, not your fault (hi @BennyBeaver ) , but I'm still waking up and am just not in the mood for this. I've been on that ferris wheel a few too many times and just can't do it right now. Let's schedule another call for me."
He's calm and says, "Sure, no problem, but before I let you go, ...." Tequilla story made short, the guy asks if my wife's iPHone is on the account, etc. Oh, fuck me!! Turns out, that's a trusted device. We use one of the five moves I've done 50 mother fucking times, only this time we use her phone, and BOOM! Facts! @Ballz! It fucking works. Countless hours (seriously ... hours) and this fucker gets me out of Apple jail in less than 2 minutes.
Just like in real life: it's all about running into the right guy. Pretty much nothing else matters.
Good day sir.
I said Good Day!
And people go along with it.
"Yeah you're right, maybe Im the idiot. You guys are never at fault"
Any other brand and otherwise reasonable people would be like no fuck you!!!!
I hope you don’t store anything important on da cloud.
Brb gonna apply for the apple credit card!
Think on it for a bit.
Apple is an American company. The problem was with the security system. A service. The phone works just fine and always has. It was the people on the phone, who were English speaking Americans - the people you want to shield from competition - who couldn't think their way out of a wet paper bag.
I don't have any more time to explain this to you: I'm off to go breed more Hispanics to populate your fine clean country.
Anyway, I guess that some haven’t heard of contact manufacturing.
