Overnight, many people reported on social media that they were inexplicably logged out of their Apple IDs and then required to reset their passwords when they tried to sign in again, and nobody seems to know why. Some reported needing to enter their iPhone passcode to connect to iCloud again, while others with Stolen Device Protection enabled said they had to wait an hour before being able to log in.
Apple’s System Status webpage shows no current issues with any of its services, so it’s not clear if this was a widespread issue. That said,
9to5Mac reports that even a few of its staff members were also affected by the issue. At least
one Forbes contributor apparently experienced the issue as well. The outlet saw no indication that this was related to the password reset attacks that several publications,
including Forbes, covered in March.
