I could not, I was traveling with the phone and the iPad and both got stolen so

apple force you to received a verification code in the stolen devices!!!

it is very stupid to have two ways when you are trying to block a device because is lost!!!


Apple even force you a two verification code in iCloud to use your mail so why would you use iCloud when you

have a device? basically iCloud is useless because the only time you will really need to use is when you do not have a device

with you, from others computer, I was really appalled by the stupidity of the obligatory set up

I was in really need with everything block


Apple is insecure because of the two way autentification, it left all my information vulnerable because of this and now I

am trying to find what happen with the information, even I changed the password and choose to sign out the devices

still appear as signed in


I do not know what to do

Sorry but this is the least one can say

I hope you will not find yourself unconscious in the street

in a foreign developing country with absolute no money or cards

no other means of getting help than to get somebody computer

and use the mail everybody knows is you, and is blocked by

the company that claims to look after you and your data,

there are many other means to check your identity if necessary

like questions or doble password, or use your recovery mail, ect

it is required to have more than one device to use your mail?

or do you need to buy all the apple products to be safe?

apple support is nowhere it can be reached without phone either

and international access on too many cases, why this company do not have

mail for selected cases? or other internet based help?

I have several trusted phone numbers attached to my AppleID for that reason; not all of them are mobile phones.
