PSA: Never Lose Your Apple ID Password

You can’t reset it? I’ve done it several times.

For some reason it's making me wait weeks to do it now.

I forgot mine on my work phone last year and had to wait 2 weeks to reset it

They only make you wait a week if you don’t have the same card information that you had on the account. Most people don’t have to wait a week, it’s normally 24 hours. And that’s if none of the other automatic reset options are available

Edit: did this recently

As someone else said, be careful when you are resetting a password or recovering account. I was helping a friend and somehow two-factor authentication got turned on once it's on you are unable to turn it off. Not sure when that started by I even asked Apple support and they said the option to turn it off once it is on does not exist.
