Apple, the maker of the iPhone, is known for providing such features that can help users in difficult times. But a report has claimed that an essential feature of Apple can also increase the problems of the users. According to the report, thieves can permanently lock Apple users out of their Apple ID accounts by using Apple’s ‘Recovery key’ security option.

first on this matter Report It came out in February this year. The Wall Street Journal had reported that thieves are eyeing the passcodes of iPhone users. The incidents of iPhone theft by spying passcode in public place are on the rise. Many victims said that their iPhones were stolen in public places. It was told in the report that thieves can reset the password of Apple users’ Apple ID if they know the passcode of the iPhone. The Find My iPhone feature can also be turned off.

Now the Wall Street Journal has reported that after spying on passcodes in public places and stealing phones, thieves can do one more thing. They can reset the iPhone’s ‘Recovery Key’ security option. By doing this, people can be completely prevented from accessing their Apple ID.

It is worth noting that without the ‘Recovery Key’, iPhone users cannot access their Apple account back. Another danger is the user’s passcode and Apple ID password falling into the hands of thieves. People’s data can be stolen. Money can also be misappropriated from their Apple Pay. Apple’s website states that users can be permanently locked out of their account if they lose their iPhone and recovery key.

• Users have to ensure that their passcode is not known to anyone.
• Face ID or Touch ID should be used more in public places.
• If it is necessary to enter a passcode, enter the passcode very carefully by keeping your other hand on the display so that no one can see it.
• Switch to an alphanumeric passcode instead of a four-digit passcode.
