Make Sure You Type Correctly

We've all been in situations where we can't access our account after trying the password numerous times, only to find out we've been typing it wrong. Ensure you accurately type your password without any typos, as this may be the issue. This can happen if you forget to check when the caps lock is on or if you simply type hastily.

Cycle Through Your Other Passwords

Here's another trick: more often than not, people tend to reuse the same password for multiple accounts. So, you can cycle through your other passwords and try out the most common ones associated with your Apple ID. You should also try different number combinations, such as "123456," your birthday, or other important dates. These are often used intuitively as they are easy to recall.

Check Your Password Keychains on iPhone, iPad, or Mac

With Apple's iCloud Keychain feature, you can keep your passwords and autofill information, such as app usernames, passwords, credit card information, and Wi-Fi passwords.

If you have enabled iCloud Keychain on your Apple device and have logged into apple.com, icloud.com, or appleid.apple.com with your Apple ID account, there is a chance you can find your Apple ID password there.
