I've been locked from my apple id for two *months*.

Even though I:

- had my recovery password

- re-confirmed the email

- re-confirmed my phone

They just kept telling me "we'll contact you in two weeks", and kept not following.

Then after the 4th recovery they sent me my recovery link on email (in any case weeks later).

Worst of all? Their privacy and security they keep repeating like propaganda are beyond bogus. Sure, they de-logged me from all of my accounts, that I appreciate, but I had 0 issues accessing all of the contents on my hard drive if I was a thief with a simple script in recovery mode I could still access everything. Where's the security? Propaganda only non-technical normies believe and then repeat.

I'm never ever buying Apple products ever in my life, I've got MBPs that my clients send me, but that's it.

You encrpyt your hard drive - so that needs a password.

So you need more than a simple script.

But someone else having your hardware has always bveen a risk.
