[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1896679, member: 83420"] [USER=372409]@janeserky[/USER], I recognise and sympathise with your predicament. If it were me, I'd feel much happier contacting Apple Support. After all, your accounts are both active and working. It's not as if you were locked out. BUT you could end up locked out if you mess around with Recovery Key - or it it Key[B]s[/B] - hard to believe that they are the same because each Recovery Key has to be generated separately for each account. BTW, as I understand it, a Recovery Key is something the owner asked for, or agreed to, usually at the time of setting up the account or when initiating 2 Factor Authentication. It's not mandatory, as far as I know. As you are up & running normally, I'd feel much happier contacting Apple Support and asking them to take you through some process for disabling them. In the meantime, give these articles a read - useful tips there: [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208072[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8131039[/URL] Ian [/QUOTE]
