Im trying to get an upgrade for my iPhone

For some reason, the CS is demanding I login to my apple account, something I never really use, to disable my "Find My" Device lock on my phone

I dont recall my details, so I go to reset my apple account password, which then asks me to turn on bluetooth on my PC and phone while scanning a QR code on my PC screen using the phones camera, all while im on the phone already with the customer service guy

This then "hangs" for about a minute doing jack shit, I cancel out of it

I try to send a reset code to my email (an older one), which I dont have the password for immediately

So I need to get that emails pw reset with my even older email acct, I open both of the inboxes and theyre completely fucked with spam and pornbots, 200 popups asking me about cookies etc, everything barely functional & lagging

I get back out of this russian nesting doll of email authentications, back to my Apple account and finally put in a code

"Thank you. We’ll send you an update soon.

We are evaluating your information to determine when you will be able to reset your password."

This is what I am now looking at

At one point also I was asked if I wanted to enable a fingerprint 2FA for my Hotmail account from 2004, I seriously almost lost my vision

Still reeling from all of this

Also I cant upgrade my phone now until I have my account back!

I’ve been using an autofill password vault for years, it’s the only way to keep your bearings now. The edge browser has one that is synced with your account so it persists on any device.

I use this but I can never tell where the vault "emanates" from,like, I have a password manager on Chrome, then a different "vault" of passwords under apple, a separate discrete password "app" , keychain etc, none of them seem to be horizontally integrated if I change device, browser

I hit "remember me" everytime, never clear my history etc, still nada

it doesnt really matter anyway since most of the passwords get saved wrong or under the wrong account, then I spend hours pasting in "codes" from my SMS, various emails, fingerprint, face ID etc to break into anything I need

its insane
