Four and a Half Apple Passwords

Passwords are probably the oldest authentication method. Despite their age, passwords remain the most popular authentication method in today’s digital age.
Passwords are everywhere. Even your phone has more than one password. Speaking of Apple iPhone, the thing may require as many as four (and a half) passwords to get you going. To make things even more complicated, the four and a half passwords are seriously related to each other. Let’s list them:

♦️Screen lock password;
♦️iCloud password;
♦️iTunes backup password;
♦️Screen Time password;
🔻One-time codes

In this article, we will provide an overview on how these passwords are used and how they are related to each other; what are the default settings and how they affect your privacy and security. We’ll tell you how to use one password to reset another
