[QUOTE="janeserky, post: 1896657, member: 372409"] Hello all I need some help regarding the apple recovery key as I’m really confused. I have 2 apple IDs. When I check the account details both of them show the recovery key as being active. I do not recall asking for a recovery key to be generated for either account. I do not have a record of a recovery key for either account. This is really unusual for me as I am fastidious about keeping this type of information safe (I use 1Password and can see that I have a recovery code for a Microsoft account, yet there is absolutely no information re Apple). I have checked both my iPad and iPhone and both of these show that recovery key is ‘off’. My questions are as follows: 1. Is the recovery key on my devices that same as the recovery key in my Apple ID account? If yes, how can one show it’s active and the other show it’s not? 2. Have I really set a recovery key on my 2 Apple IDs? If yes, how do I reset it - or turn it off without getting locked out of my accounts? What do I really need to be careful with? Thanks [/QUOTE]
