Ran into this issue literally yesterday. The wife went back to iOS after giving Android a try for four years (I don't get why, but I try not to judge).

Anyway, she couldn't remember her Apple ID and had to pull out the phone she hasn't used in years to recover her account. Thankfully she was smart enough to charge the battery to 50% every few months. Otherwise it would have gone bad and she would have been fucked; literally would have had to pay a tech hundreds to replace a battery for a phone she no longer uses, just to reset a simple password.

I understand and appreciate the need for good security, but this is beyond ridiculous.
