How possible and easy is for others to break in your iCloud with another Mac or Apple phone?

How can your ex on a Mac 15 laptop break in through the iCloud to my iPhone 13 locating me my address and apartment number when my location is off I’m under domestic and I’m running from her and I was very surprised that Apple will allow this to happen

You can only access an iCloud account, if you know the Apple Account and the Apple Account password.

Resetting the Apple Account password would be the first thing to do in such a case, to gain control over your Apple Account again.

  1. Change your Apple Account password. Make sure that you use a strong and unique password.
  2. If you can't change your Apple Account password because it's already been changed by someone else, reset your password.
  3. Go to account.apple.com to update any of personal or security information that isn't correct or that you don't recognize.
  4. On account.apple.com, select Devices and remove any devices associated with your Apple Account that you don't recognize.
  5. Check with your email provider and cellular carrier to make sure that you control every email address and phone number associated with your Apple Account. For example, check with your cellular carrier that SMS forwarding hasn't been set up for a phone number associated with your Apple Account.

You want to secure the individual devices – or mark any that are lost or stolen as Lost – as well.


When I log into these forums using Safari, I can do so using my local Admin password on my Mac, and Face ID on my iPhone, even though the login is to my Apple Account.
