If you haven't already, DO activate two factor authentication for Apple iCloud account access. — PING!

Have a linky to that process? I have no idea what my iCloud pswd is or when I would even use iCloud, except as a backup when I get a new phone.

Hey texas booster, how are ya?

If you want to change your iCloud password, try this on your iPhone:

1.) Touch gear icon (setting) to open

2.) Scroll down under Privacy to iCloud, touch to open

3.) If you don’t remember your password, you can click on the “Forgot Apple ID or Password” link, and it will email a message to help you reset your password. If you set up an iCloud account, I think you have to give them an email, so if you don’t get an email back, then you either never set up an account, or don’t have that email address anymore.

Go to iCloud.com. . . and recover your password using your security questions. Then there will be an option to setup two factor authentication. You will need a way to get the authentication code. . . a phone that can receive a code by instant messaging or by email to a computer that Apple knows is yours. . . or I believe a phone call.
