Developer locked out of Apple ID for a week sparks dependence debate
Original: Ask HN: My Apple ID is locked for a week, Apple is a single point of failure
A Hacker News user reports their Apple ID has been locked for a week, cutting off access to Apple services and purchases. The post argues Apple acts as a single point of failure for people who rely heavily on one account, prompting discussion about account recovery, vendor lock-in and the risks of tying email, files, payments and devices to a single company.
Why now: People are discussing the risks of depending on one company's account system after an unexplained week-long lockout.
