This time the final sheet asking for my Apple ID password worked. The good news is that the phone automatically unlocked and made the Apple ID services available again. Earlier tonight it popped up on all three devices I was actively using and demanded my Apple ID password be reentered in Settings. All very shitty, and I'm now very, very, very glad that my passwords are all locally stored in Strongbox, the vault on my NAS, accessible through a VPN under my control with no Apple bits involved. Took the opportunity to look through and correct all my passwords to ensure everything was accounted for including my new Apple ID password, which in fairness benefited from a change after many years and probably woke me up to do a task that I would have otherwise put off, found during this process that Strongbox, though not perfect, really is the right choice for me; highly recommend. This just happened to me when I got up Saturday morning in the UK. After resetting my Apple ID password on my phone, I have to do it on my watch, my iPad mini, my iPad Pro, my iMac, my MacBook Air, my Mac mini, my Apple TV i'm not sure if I also have to do it individually on my five HomePods - four of them in two stereo pairs, which might mean just one password reset per pair. Getting permanently locked out of my Apple ID would be devastating.
