  • Apple IDs locked for unknown reasons for a number of iPhone users

    This happened to me and I discovered the issue was with app-specific passwords. In my case using app-specific passwords with Mailstrom caused the security problem, though entirely on Apple’s side of things. 
    The Mailstrom ppl worked with Apple to resolve the issue and they have. Perhaps others with suddenly locked iCloud accounts should have third parties look into it if using app-specific passwords for integration – i.e. mail, calendar or notes sync services.

    This move makes sense, since you can no longer wipe an iDevice without logging out of Find My iPhone first. 
    New credo is "if it's not wiped, don't buy it".
    If that wasn't always the case then how did activation lock work before if you could wipe the device at will?
    Before, you could wipe and not activate anew if locked. Now (iOS 10.2.1) you can't wipe without first unlocking.
