How do I recover my iCloud password?

You can’t have your password “revealed”

in any way.

You CAN change it after you’ve been authenticated.

See what to do here:

If you can’t authenticate into your account, see this:

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗

According to Apple:

Use a trusted Apple device:

The easiest way to reset your password is with your iPhone or other trusted Apple device — one that’s already signed in to your Apple Account, so that Apple knows that it’s yours. You also need a passcode (or password on Mac) set up on that device.

Resetting your password on the web when you don’t have a trusted device is another way to regain access to your account.

Reset your Apple Account password on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Vision Pro:

1. Open the Settings app, then tap [your name].
2. Tap Sign-In & Security.
3. Tap Change Password.

4. Enter your device passcode.

Then follow the onscreen instructions to change your Apple Account password.

You might be required to wait one hour before changing your Apple Account password or other critical security settings. Learn more about Stolen Device Protection and when a security delay might be required.

Reset your Apple Account password on your Mac:

1. From the Apple menu , choose System Settings.
2. Click [your name], then click Sign-In & Security.
3. Click Change Password.

• Enter the password used to unlock your Mac. Then follow the onscreen instructions to change your Apple Account password.

If you’re trying to sign in on a new Apple device:

If you’re not signed in to your Apple Account on an Apple device, you can select “Forgot password or don’t have an Apple Account?” during device setup on the Apple Account sign-in screen.

If you skipped signing in during setup, you can reset your password in Settings:

• iPhone or iPad: Open the Settings app, then tap Apple Account. Select “Sign in manually”, then tap “Forgot password?” and follow the onscreen instructions.
• Mac: From the Apple menu , choose System Settings. Click Sign in, then click “Forgot password” and follow the onscreen instructions.

If you don’t have a trusted device:

If you’re not able to use one of your own trusted devices, borrow a device from a family member or friend. You can also change your password on iforgot.apple.com.

Reset your Apple Account password with the Apple Support app on a borrowed device:

If you don’t have an Apple device but have access to your trusted phone number, use the Apple Support app. You can borrow an Apple device from a friend or family member, or use one at an Apple Store.

1. Open the Apple Support app on the borrowed Apple device. If you need to download the Apple Support app, find it in the App Store.
2. Scroll down to Support Tools, then tap Reset Password.
3. Tap “Help Someone Else”.
4. Enter your Apple Account email address or phone number.
5. Tap Continue, and follow the onscreen instructions to reset your password.

Any information that you enter won’t be stored on the device.

Reset your Apple Account password on the web:

You can also regain access to your account by resetting your password on the web. When possible, the web browser redirects you to a trusted device instead.

The reset process on the web might take a little longer. If you’ll have access to one of your trusted devices soon, it might be faster and easier to reset your password at that time.

Reset your password at iforgot.apple.com

If you need more help, contact Apple Support directly.

Thanks again for reaching out. 👍🏼

Good Luck! 👋🏼😉

On a computer with the Passwords application, you can see your current Apple Account password ( How to find my current Apple ID password? - Apple Community ).

If you are signed into this forum using the same Apple Account then your browser may be configured to automatically enter your password. You should be able to view stored passwords in your browser's preferences/settings.

This Apple article has instructions for what to do if you have forgotten your Apple account password, or the system does not recognize the one you remember —> If you forgot your password and can’t sign in to your Apple Account - Apple Support or go directly to this web reset link —> https://iforgot.apple.com/ (“The reset process on the web might take a little longer. If you’ll have access to one of your trusted devices soon, it might be faster and easier to reset your password at that time.”)

If you don't receive your verification or reset email, read this Apple Support article: If you didn’t receive your Apple Account verification or password reset email - Apple Support

"When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account." Also check your junk mail.

If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (read this support article: Page Not Found - Official Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. This is a multi-step process.

Brian:

Note that Apple has recently significantly revised the document at your According to Apple link.

(it now is most appropriate to users who do not have any account access — a group in which this particular OP is quite possibly a member)

You’re most welcome! 🫡

It’s always good to see that Apple is still continuously “tuning-up” their KBs.

The significant effort required in that task is unfortunately fully understood and appreciated mostly by those who have had to create and maintain such documents themselves. 😅

Thanks Chattanoogan for bringing that to my attention.

I have marked my notes for review.

I really appreciate you. ➕👍🏼
