Thank you, but I have another question. I use thumb print to unlock my iCloud instead of password/ passcode . If I go and use someone else computer that needs my password, how can can I be sure I can remember it. I would like to test my memory to see if I can open my account before I go to my friends computer. How do I bypass the thumb print password?

When you unlock using a fingerprint there is an option to use your password instead, or just use a different finger several times so your fingerprint fails and it will prompt for your password.


To not depend entirely on your memory, you can write it down, or save it in the Keychain app on your phone, or use a 3rd party password vault such as the highly rated 1Password.
