If you have an Apple ID account, you may have experienced a bug in your Apple ID account. Many users around the world report being disconnected from the service, then unable to reconnect. Even with the correct password.
Imagine: you’re in the middle of Facetime with a loved one, everything goes smoothly until suddenly, your Apple ID account gets blocked and the call stops dead. As surprising as it may seem, this is precisely what happened to Max Weinbach, journalist at 9To5Google, who shared his mishap on X (Twitter). And truth be told, he’s probably not the only one to whom this mishap has happened.
Indeed, over the weekend, many users took to social networks to share similar experiences. The symptoms are always the same. Without any reason, the device will automatically sign out of Apple ID. From then on, it was impossible to reconnect. Even when typing the correct identifier associated with the correct password, the platform refuses to execute and persists in repeating that there is an error.

Apple ID users deprived of their account without any reason
If this reminds you of anything, it’s normal: a similar bug had already struck last year, repeatedly asking users to reconnect to their Apple ID account. Here, no invasive pop-up, but the same problem that disconnects users. Note, however, that it is possible to regain access to your data simply by changing your password – which can, however, prove very annoying for many people.
It seems that the bug is still active. If you find yourself disconnected from your account, don’t panic: it’s very likely that it’s not a hacker who wants your personal data. All that remains is to wait for Apple to address the problem and deploy a fix to users. The problem having made some noise in recent days, we can bet that it should not take too long.
