There are no ways to recover your account if you have ADP on. Stop making stuff up. You need to have your key written down and stored somewhere safe, otherwise you are SOL and locked out forever.

    It's literally in the link in the comment this was replying to:

    Recovery methods

    With Advanced Data Protection turned on, Apple doesn't have the encryption keys needed to help you recover your end-to-end encrypted data. [I do not believe this] If you ever lose access to your account, you’ll need to use one of your account recovery methods — your device passcode or password, your recovery contact, or recovery key — to recover your iCloud data.

    Your device passcode or password is the passcode on your iPhone or iPad, or the login password on your Mac that you set to protect your device and enable two-factor authentication. It’s also used to reset your Apple Account password and to recover your end-to-end encrypted data if you lose access to your account.

    A recovery contact is a trusted friend or family member who can use their Apple device to help you regain access to your account and data. They won’t have any access to your account, only the ability to give you a code to help you recover your account. Learn more about recovery contacts.

    A recovery key is a secret 28-character code that you can use, along with a trusted phone number and an Apple device, to recover your account and data. Learn more about recovery keys.

    How would a 'trusted contact' recover keys that are supposedly only stored on your devices, when you yourself have lost those devices; unless Apple has stored those keys elsewhere.

    There's also no telling what they've done with your 'recovery key'. Just because they refuse to help you, doesn't mean they have no access; they just won't share that access with you, as it would blatantly expose their illusion.

    There's no way in hell I'm trusting a massive US corporation with securing my data without backdoor access. You have no way of managing encryption/recovery keys on an Apple device or seeing where/how they've been stored; you've just got to trust they handle it well for you.

    I do not trust Apple; or any large profit driven corporation, particularly one that sucks up to the American government (especially THIS American Government). Not in todays age of dystopian surveillance.

    The same way E2EE works for anything else? You trust them as a device that can decrypt your keys using their own keys generated on their device. You need to do this at the time you turn on ADP. You cannot do it later.

    There’s also no telling what they’ve done with your ‘recovery key’. Just because they refuse to help you, doesn’t mean they have no access; they just won’t share that access with you, as it would blatantly expose their illusion.

    The key is randomly generated on your device locally and displayed to you exactly once. If you don't write it down and store it somewhere else, you can never access it again. So, unless you have some actual data to show that the key is being transmitted anywhere, you're just speculating without any evidence.

    You don't have to believe any of it. I don't particularly care. But it's wild to come out as confidently as you are when you don't even know the basics about it.
