Method 1 Find Your Apple ID Password from two-factor authentication in iOS 10 or later

As we all know, two-factor authentication on an iPhone or iPad provides an extra layer of security for a user's Apple ID, since your Apple ID and iCloud account will only be allowed to log in to Apple devices you trust. To log in to your Apple ID on a new Apple device, you will need to enter your Apple ID password and 6-digit verification code. This method prevents unauthorized users from gaining access to your account by cracking the Apple ID password.

So if you have access to an Apple device that your Apple ID trusts, and you know the screen password for that device, you can use it to find the Apple ID password. The specific steps are as follows:

Step 1 Make sure that your device is running iOS 10 or later and that you have enabled two-factor authentication on iDevice.

Step 2 On a trusted iDevice, choose Settings > Your Name > Password and Security > Change Password.

Step 3 Enter the screen password on the iPhone or iPad.

Step 5 Enter the new Apple ID password as prompted and re-enter the password.

Method 2 Find Your Apple ID Password Through Two-step Verification on iOS 9 or Earlier

Apple officially provides a relatively old but effective security feature in the iOS system to ensure the security of Apple ID, that is, two-step verification. This security feature is designed to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your personal account, even if others know your Apple ID password.

You need to use another device trusted by this Apple ID to verify your identity, and two steps of verification have been completed.

After setting up two-step verification, you will receive a 14 character recovery key sent by Apple. The recovery key can help you find your Apple ID password. How to use the recovery key to find the Apple ID password, please refer to the following steps.
