Seems like a dangerous advice for a regular person who can just go to Apple and get stuff back?
- cjk2 3y agoQuite possibly. But it’s roll dice and hope Apple will fix it or guaranteed have a way out. Regular person can’t even remember their email address so a good point though.
- throwaway290 3y agoCan you disable recovery key later? I ask because Apple's docs helpfully say > If you decide to stop using a recovery key, follow the steps above on your device and turn off recovery key. When you do, you can use account recovery to regain access to your Apple ID. But the "steps above" only describe how to turn it on, not off. Edit: thank you.
- cjk2 3y agoThere is an option to disable it but I’ve never tried it. So I assume yes.
