I am certain that one cannot consider it a perfect solution that Apple can read a user's data.
Like with Mozilla's crippling of Firefox's end-user security, any protocol which allows an unauthorised party to read data will eventually ensure an unauthorised party to read data.

- zeveb 9y agoIf I can lose all of my keys and passwords, and Apple can let me restore my data, then Apple can let itself — or some other entity — read my data too.
- ec109685 9y agoTrue, but that’s not what this article is saying though. You need to have an authorized device to change your iCloud password.
