Summary:

Bakugou Katsuki is a natural genius. He's good at practically anything he tries, right off the bat.

So when Ashido asks him if he can twerk it's very natural for him to be good at it right away. It's just that no one expected how good.

Todoroki feels a type of way about it.

or: Todoroki watches Bakugou twerk and has a spiritual awakening.

The thrumming bass pulses through your veins. It echoes through every inch of your body and, without it, you’re sure that you’d be nothing but a hollow shell.

The synths of the music—the pounding of the 808s—become your heartbeat. It is the very strings that control your marionette visage.

Your steps—though awkward and unsure—propel you forward. 

You’re alone. 

You know you shouldn’t be. Being alone, dressed like you are in such a place, is a recipe for disaster. And normally, you’re not this type of girl anyway. 

You’re the kind that would be sitting at home. By now, you would be curled up in bed. But not asleep. No. You would be wide awake.

Wide awake and waiting for him to get home. 

He promised you that it was just work that kept him away. That he was just simply a busy man. And so of course he would be busy at work late. His work—his hard work and effort—is what kept the lights on. Kept food in the fridge. It was what afforded you such a comfortable lifestyle where you didn’t have to work.

You did. But you didn’t have to work to sustain yourself. To keep food on the table and to keep a roof over your head.

You worked at a flower shop part time, a few days a week. The other days, you spent taking care of your home and keeping yourself in shape.

No, you didn’t have to work to survive. 

But you did work to satisfy him. To appease him. To show him that everything he did was worth it because you were grateful. You didn’t take any of it for granted. 

So you were the good girlfriend. The obedient girlfriend. 

When he told you to change into something else, no matter the reason, you listened. When he told you that he expected dinner to be ready by a certain time, it was. When he told you to stay home—to not go out with your friends—and instead wait for him, you did. And when he told you that he would be home late because of work, you believed him. 

You believed him.

But stupid, stupid you. 

You should have known better. 

He’d left his iPad out. 

Normally he kept it in his at-home office. A room that you obediently avoided after being told to not enter it. 

But it was on the nightstand on his side of the bed. 

Innocuous. Unassuming. 

You had grabbed it just to simply put it back. It was a good deed. A deed you were sure he’d thank you for. But then you noticed there was an unread message from a mutual friend of yours. 

Well…she was more your friend than his. 

Or so you thought.

You unlocked it. You unlocked the iPad. 

It was easy.

Perhaps he never put a password on it because he figured he had you so obediently trained. Perhaps he never put a password on it because he figured that you would never dare to touch something that usually stayed in his office—a place you were never to step foot in.

But you did. You unlocked it and it had no password so it was incredibly easy. And with his icloud connected, you could easily read the text messages between him and Itsuka.

The messages that denigrated you. Disparaged you.

They made fun of you. They bad-mouthed you and belittled you. 

You were nothing but a toy to play with. To use and throw away. To laugh at. 

He was cheating on you with your friend. Your friend who had no qualms about her actions. Who made fun of you. 

They sent photos back and forth. Nude. Explicit. They sent videos of their affair back and forth, too. They talked about it. Bragged about it. Joked about how you were an idiot that was none the wiser.

But of course you weren’t. You were just simply an obedient doll.

You put his iPad back in his office—back where you remembered seeing it on the few occasions you had even dared to look in. 

And then you waited for him to get home. Dinner was on the table, hot and ready. When he came home, he kissed you on the cheek and smiled. He talked about his day at work and when your meal was done, you cleared off the table and cleaned the dishes. That night, as he always did before going to sleep, he told you how much he loved you.

For the following days, you continued to sneak into his office and read through their messages. 

It hurt so much. So fucking much. And yet you couldn’t stop yourself. You had to know what they were saying about you. It was an insatiable obsession. A mistake, really, but it was the only thing that you could think of to do.

And then you realized that it was not only Itsuka that he was sleeping with. 

There were more. So many more. 

Some were your friends. Others were women he’d sworn were just friends. And the rest were women you’d never even met before.

You were sick.

Literally. 

For days you couldn’t eat. And when you did, it came right back up. When you laid beside him at night, you did not know rest. When you weren’t sobbing as he rested so peacefully, you were just silently staring at him as you wondered what you did to deserve this.

You were good to him.

You listened. You obeyed without question. 

But in the end you were nothing but a doormat. 

Takami Keigo took you for a fool. 

Not like you gave him any reason to treat you different…or so you told yourself. 

It has been two months since you found out about him cheating on you, and now you are nothing but an empty carcass. A walking corpse of the woman you once were.

Of course he does not notice. You are no better than the lap that sits atop the nightstand on his side of the bed. You are of no more importance than the utensils that sit in the kitchen drawers. As long as you keep working as you always have, he does not notice the absence of your spirit.

But Rumi notices.

She is the only friend that never showed up in his phone. She is the only friend that continues to check on you. To make sure you’re okay. The only friend that continued to invite you out despite you always passing on the offer. 

And she is the only friend that never quite liked Keigo.

She recognized the subservient role he’d placed upon you and firmly—vehemently—disagreed. 

She tried to warn you. But you didn’t listen. You assured her that she was merely overthinking. That Keigo was a good man. A wonderful boyfriend. That he was simply protective, but that he constantly showed through his actions how much he loved you.

You wish you had her discerning eye.

So it was only natural for her to notice the shift in your being. In the very essence of you.

She invited you out to cheer you up, never once expecting you to agree. But you did. In fact, you had asked if you could stay the night at her place afterwards. 

It had been so long since you had accepted her invitation, let alone stayed at her placed, that she agreed right away.

You went to her apartment. You borrowed a dress and some heels from her. You followed her out the door and to the club.

It’s been so long since you’ve been to a club. Since you’ve been out without Keigo by your side. It’s been so long since you’ve worn something that you picked out yourself—that you’ve worn something so revealing.

The dress you borrowed clings to your body. It reveals every curve and so much skin. It accentuates and flatters. 

You haven’t worn something like this in years. But you feel sexy. 

If only you didn’t feel so out of place. 

Rumi was by your side. She had glued herself to you and wouldn’t let you out of her sight. Not because she did not trust you. Not because she thought of you as incapable, but because she was worried. 

But the more alcohol that entered your system the more you felt stifled.

The more you felt smothered.

So you slipped from her side. 

Some guy had been hitting on her and while her attention had been taken, you escaped.

Now, you worm your way through the crowded club. One awkward step after another. There is a glass in your hand, but you quickly empty it and set it down someplace you have no intention of revisiting. 

The dance floor is just ahead.

As you swim further away from shore, the waves of bodies begin to swallow you. They pull you in further and further, making it harder to fight against the current. Making it harder to turn around. Making it harder to return to safety.

Not like you intend to.

Trapped and with no escape route, you stand still in the mass of dancing humidity. 

Your eyes close and you stand there, just simply soaking everything in. People brush against you. Bump into you. Someone steps on your foot. But you don’t care. You just stand there until your head grows dizzy. 

Dizzy, from intoxication. 

You grow drunk on a combination of alcohol and environment. 

Sin and wickedness lap at your heels and the moment you stop moving, they swallow you whole.

Your body is moving now. 

The music is now your master. It is now the one controlling your strings. And you let it. 

You give yourself to it entirely.

It doesn’t matter who is around you. 

Someone grabs hold of your hips. They tug you into them and grind into you. Their hands wander your body in ways that, if you were in your right mind, you would never accept. But you’re not, so you do. 

The hands disappear from your silhouette, but you don’t stop.

Your body continues to move without any control over yourself. As if possessed. But really, you kind of are. Not like you mind.

It does not scare you. In fact, you welcome it. You welcome the mindlessness. You welcome the way you do not have to put any thought to anything. You simply dance. You simply move. 

More pairs of hands come and go. You dance with an innumerable amount of people, but that is all that you do. You just dance and dance. Moving to the whims of your melodic master and nothing else. You drown in the dulcet beats and find sweet comfort in the stupor it gives you.

“What’re you doing crying in a place like this, looking like that?”

The voice is deep. Husky and raspy. It brings you out of your trance as though popping a bubble.

The haze of brainlessness disappears.

How many songs have passed? What time is it? Who is it that has their hands on your waist?

You turn around and the man behind you is tall. Taller than you, for sure. He’s got deep seated bags under his eyes and a few facial piercings. Tattoos cover the entirety of his neck and his arms, from what you can see. He’s muscular, too. That much is obvious.

He’s hot.

He’s sexy. 

“I’m crying?”Is your response.

And then you reach up to touch your face, shocked to find that you are actually crying. 

“That would be a weird fucking pick up line if you weren’t, don’t you think?”

It would be, that’s not what you’re thinking about at the moment. Now, you’re wondering when you had begun to shed tears. How long have you been crying?

His hands that rest on your waist pull you closer. “So, are you gonna answer my question sweetheart?”

Normally, you’d wrinkle your nose in disgust at being called such a thing by a stranger. But you don’t mind it coming from his mouth. You don’t mind the lustful gaze or obvious flirting, either. 

So instead, you swallow to clear your dry throat and lick your lips.

“Yes, that would be a weird pick up line.”You tell him and then quickly follow it up with, “I’m having problems with my boyfriend.”

He nods his head and you quickly realize that perhaps you misspoke. This guy is clearly hitting on you. He’s clearly flirting with you and…well—despite the heartache you’ve been through these past weeks, you still have love in your heart for Keigo.

But you’re not opposed to the attention you’re getting right now.

“I’m breaking up with him. He’s cheating.”

You say it then immediately regret it. 

The alcohol has loosened your lips and liberated your tongue. The words that you couldn’t even fathom articulating to Rumi, you have blurted out to the sexy stranger in front of you. But if he is at all bothered, he does not appear so. 

Instead he wipes a stray tear from your face and then leans in. His lips are all but brushing against the shell of your ear. A shiver runs down your spine at that. But his words are what cause your legs to go weak.

“Don’t worry darling, I was going to pursue you whether you were in a committed relationship or not.”

And then he pulls away.

Not completely though. Just enough for you two to make eye contact. But when you do, it feels like you’ve been shocked with electricity. And you welcome the moment his lips touch yours.

As his tongue slips into your mouth and your hands tangle in his hair, you vaguely register how troubled you are by his words

Mostly because they remind you of Keigo. 

Did he ever stop—did he ever hesitate before approaching someone? Were you ever on his mind as he slept with one person after another? 

Probably not. 

You gave yourself to him in ways that he could never.

And so you let all inhibitions go as the sexy stranger feels you up. His hands mark his territory in ways that were unfamiliar to you until just now. They grab and grope. Fondle and caress. 

“You wanna continue this somewhere more private?”He asks and though his words are not explicit, you understand fully what he means. 

And you do. You want to continue this. 

So you nod your head but let out a bit of a gasp as he takes hold of your hand and begins leading you out of the cacophony of bodies.

You’re not sure where he’s taking you, but he seems so sure of himself. As if he knows exactly where he’s going. So you let him lead and merely follow. You are now mindful of your absence from Rumi, though, and look around to hopefully spot her. 

She stares with wide, surprised eyes.

She begins walking over to you, but upon seeing that you are not alone, the surprise in her eyes turns to downright shock. 

You give her a thumbs up to let her know that you’re fine and soon, you’re disappearing from her sight once again.

You feel bad. You feel bad for disappearing from her. For, undoubtedly, worrying her. For not explaining anything to her. For using her and her kindness as a means to enable your night of mindlessness. 

So you remind yourself to apologize. 

Later.

Because now, you’re being pulled into an office. The office. The one that clearly belongs to the owner of the club.

The stranger grabs your chin and pulls you in for a kiss. His tongue slips into your mouth once again while his hands settle onto your ass, giving your cheeks a firm squeeze. You two shuffle backwards, uncaring as you knock a few things over. 

But eventually your ass meets the edge of the office desk.

And then he hikes up your short dress before dropping down to his knees and pulls your underwear to the side. He does not even bother to take them off of you, instead he pushes your legs open wide and buries his head between them. He leaves wet kisses, biting and nipping all along your thighs.

“W-Wait.”You say, pushing his head away from you. He stops and looks up, biting his lip and playing with his lip piercing. “What’s your name?”

“Call me Dabi.”Is his reply.

It’s clearly a nickname, but you don’t mind. 

This is nothing but a fling. His real name does not matter. 

“Y/N.”You tell him. 

He nods his head. “Can I eat your cunt now?”

“Yes—”

Dabi licks a stripe up your wet pussy, promptly shutting you up. His tongue licks against your wet folds, clearing away your juices that leaked. Your hips buck so Dabi holds your them down. 

“Fuck.”You groan, drawing out the word as your eyes close and your head falls back.

You can’t remember the last time Keigo did this. The last time he had bothered to eat you out—the last time he even bothered to fuck you—but even still, you don’t remember it ever feeling this good. You want to rub it in his face, spread your pussy all over Dabi’s face, but the hold on your hips keeps you from doing so. 

His tongue circles around your twitching hole teasing it, causing you to moan. He’s teasing you, but, you remind yourself, at least you are getting eaten out while he’s doing so. At least your mind is filling with pleasure as he toys with you. 

He runs the flat of his tongue over the expanse of your pussy before circling the tip around your clit. 

Your entire body jolts. 

“Dabi―”You moan, clamping a hand over your mouth tightly when you realize just how loud you’re being. 

It feels so good though. So fucking good.  

You let out a muffled “fuck” as Dabi sucks on your clit. While his hands still hold your hips down, his thumbs spread apart your lips to give himself more access to you. 

“Fucking delicious,”Dabi mumbles and you want to respond. Want to tell him how good he’s doing―compliment him somehow, but his tongue starts flicking at your clit and there’s nothing you can do but keep your hand clamped around your mouth as moans fall from your lips. 

You can’t help the yelp that comes out when his hands momentarily leave your hips to grab hold of your thighs. He picks you up a tad, and puts your legs on his shoulders. 

One hand goes back to your waist while the other goes straight to your sopping pussy. One finger, quickly followed by a second, fucks into you as Dabi’s mouth feverishly eats your pussy. 

You can’t help the way your entire body shudders. Your legs, that dangle off of his shoulders, tighten but with what little consciousness you have left, you remind yourself to not suffocate him. But it’s hard. So hard to not completely let go like you had done on the dancefloor.

That had been different. Unique. It involved no one else but you and the music. The sensuous, melodic notes that filled the air.

But this. Being with someone else besides Keigo, and giving the responsibility of your pleasure to them, is different. In fact, it’s a bit scary. But then his fingers crook up inside of you—hitting your g-spot—and the tight, apprehensive grip that holds you back begins to slip just a little bit.

Your hands drop from your face and instead, one shoots back—planting firmly on the surface of the desk to give you stability—while the other tangles in his dark locks.

“Fuck―Dabi.”You moan, not being able to contain yourself anymore. You’ve given up on muffling yourself in favor of gripping the desk to keep from falling over. “So good. So fucking good I―” 

Your pussy pulses around Dabi’s fingers and your words catch in your throat. It’s impossible to speak now as you know that moans, far too loud to be appropriate, will be the only ones coming from your mouth. It’s like your body begins to tremble―vibrate, and because of the lack of restraint on your hips, you begin to buck into Dabi’s face uncontrollably. 

“Dabi. Dabi, fuck.”You moan as your nails dig into the desk.“I’m cumming. I’m gonna cum. I―” 

He ignores you completely. Instead, he continues to finger fuck you as he sucks on your clit. 

Warmth washes over your body and tingles take over your lower limbs, slowly spreading to the rest of your body. Your entire body stiffens and your stomach muscles clench, causing your back to arch. Your orgasm crashes into you and it’s like your body freezes, your head is thrown back and your mouth hangs open but no sound comes out. 

Juices gush from your cunt, some squirting out but he is ready for it. Waiting with his mouth open. It’s then that he finally looks into your eyes, holding contact with you and makes it a point to show you how he swallows every last drop he’d managed to get into his mouth. 

You are struggling to catch your breath, but if you weren’t then you’d probably start singing him praises. 

Dabi doesn’t waste a moment, standing up from his knees and pulls down his jeans, taking his underwear down with them. 

His dick is hard, the head impossibly red and precum leaking from the tip. He reaches around you to open up a drawer to the desk, grabbing a condom from it. You’re slightly curious about the relationship between him and this office, but not enough to ask. Especially when he taps his condom covered cock on your clit, smirking as you flinch. 

“Don’t tell me you’re already tired Sweetheart.”He teases you. 

He’s a sight to see, that’s for sure. His hair is mussed and his lips are red, but what’s truly eye-catching is the glistening slick wetness that coats his bottom lip and chin. 

You lick your lips, “Not tired I just―”But you’re cut off as Dabi rubs his dick along your clit, causing you to once again choke on your words. “You’re not playing fair…”

He lifts you up and sets you down on the edge of the desk. And now that you’ve left the dimly lit dance floor, you realize that his eyes are a gorgeous turquoise blue. A beautiful turquoise blue that is saturated with lust and desire.

“Playing fair, hm?”He asks, his lips descending on your neck. “I’m not sure if such a thing exists. 

Dabi enters you, careful to not hurt you but clearly impatient. He’s rough in a surprisingly gentle kind of way. It is paradoxical. It makes your head spin. It makes your cunt throb. It makes you want him even more. 

Dabi’s hands and mouth felt good but his cock—his thick, long cock is heavenly. Magical.

You cry out and your nails now dig into and scratch into his back. His shirt is still on, so he is protected from whatever damage you might have inflicted but very quickly you realize that you want to change that. You want to leave your mark on him. Some kind of reminder of what happened this night. 

So you tug at his shirt, urging it off of him.  Your efforts, at first, are either unnoticed or ignored, but soon he is chuckling and assisting you. 

And you’re in no way prepared for what was hiding underneath his shirt. 

You could tell he was muscular. You could tell he was in shape—fit. But the rippling abs and deep cut v-line make your mouth go dry. 

It would be a lie to say that Keigo isn’t also fit. That he, too, does not sport a similar physique. But when was the last time you had gotten more than a glimpse of it as he got dressed or undressed? You were always a tactile lover—needing to touch and be touched—but you have long since been deprived.

At first, you simply touch him. Your hands simply reach out to feel his muscles. But one, short touch becomes a lingering graze, which inevitably turns into a needy type of pawing—where you are seemingly desperate in your endeavors to feel as much of him as possible. 

His strokes are still slow, but intentional. Purposeful as he drives his cock straight into you. Dabi’s head is tipped back and his eyes are closed, apparently taking in the moment. 

His eyes snap open, though, when you lean forward. Just enough to connect your tongue to his skin. Your hands grab hold of his hips now as you trace his ever connecting tattoos with your tongue. 

“Shit, you’re fucking insatiable.”

“Sorry…”Is your mumbled reply, bashful and a bit embarrassed. You haven’t been with anyone besides Keigo in so long that you’ve lost sense of what behaviors are appropriate or inappropriate during a first time fuck. “I just haven’t been touched in so long.”

He stops fucking you to look straight at you. It is the first time that you’ve looked at each other so clearly. He’s observing you and you’re observing him. You can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking. You can’t help but worry that you’ve ruined the mood.

But then he reaches around, quickly undoing your bra. He pulls the straps off your arms and throws the garment behind himself. Without it, your dress neckline slips and droops, which is apparently what he wants because he slides your straps down your arms.

His hands, large and warm, cup your breasts. His touch is gentle—experimental. When Dabi touches you, he watches your every reaction. He notes your every gasp and shuddering breath. Goosebumps cover your skin as his fingers circle your nipples, his nails scraping along the sensitive buds. 

And then he pinches them. Tugs and pulls.

The moan you let out raises into a sensuous wail as he punctuates his actions with an abrupt, deep thrust into your quivering cunt. 

It feels ridiculous to admit to yourself, but you’re surprised by just how good you feel. And he doesn’t stop. He continues to toy with your sensitive nipples as he fucks you. 

You’re loud now. Uninhibited and uncaring. You’re in a club for fucksake, it’s loud. And if anyone happens to hear through the door, then what can you do? Besides, it’s not like you care much anymore. It’s not like you’re thinking much of anything at this point. 

Your nails dig into his skin, leaving tracks of red in their wake. Your legs tremble, already weak but the way Dabi fucks into you makes them grow weaker. Makes your entire being weak—pliant and loose.

“Don’t worry Sweetheart,”Dabi says as he rams his cock into you “You can feel as good as you want to feel. I’ll make you feel good.” 

Something about that…about what he’s said. Perhaps his tone. Perhaps the words themselves. Or perhaps it’s the look in his eyes. Whatever the case maybe, you lose the last bit of your inhibitions. The last of your restraint melts away. You give into the pleasure and euphoria. Your head becomes light and you become entirely unabashed. 

Your cunt tightens around Dabi’s thick, long cock. And finally, he seems to lose the last bit of his control as well. 

He’d been softly groaning this whole time, but now he moans. His deliciously deep, raspy voice is right in your ear. His head rests on your shoulder and his grip on you has tightened. Over and over he mumbles “fuck”. 

Your mouth falls open but no sound comes out. It’s like the moans are stuck in your throat. Caught and unwilling to come out but your mind is a whirlwind. Dizzy and intoxicated off of carnal desire, you can’t help the way your body goes completely limp.

You fall back against the desk and rather quickly, Dabi is right on top of you. His lips are on yours and his tongue has slipped into your mouth. It quiets you both down, but just barely. 

And then he reaches down between you to give attention to your sensitive clit. 

Your toes curl and your back arches off of the hardwood desk. Your nails dig into him once again, more trails of red scratches. You cry out, completely unbridled. His lips are long forgotten now as you drown in your own pleasure. 

Your pussy is convulsing around his dick now, and your body trembles terribly. Dabi fucks into you like he’s been starved. The dull, muffled pulsing sounds of the music and your moans that fill the room are joined by the sound of your skin slapping together. 

There isn’t any room to be ashamed or shy any more. As Dabi’s cock hits your gspot over and over again, your brain melts further and all you can think about is how good you’re feeling and how much you love Dabi’s cock. And how much you miss being fucked.

How much you miss this.

You’re hearing yourself as though you are listening to someone else. You sound so pathetic—whining desperately and mewling. 

“Go ahead Princess, cum for me.”

With the magic words finally spoken, you completely break down. 

Your orgasm floods into your every limb, sedating you completely docile. And yet Dabi continues to fuck into you and while you are beginning to suffer from overstimulation and oversensitivity, you can’t bring yourself to try and push him off. So instead you just lay there obediently. 

His body grows tense and as you look up at him, your gaze hazy with pleasure and satisfaction, Dabi thrusts into you one last time before he’s emptying himself into the condom.

You thought that he, too, would collapse or at least be too tired to move, but instead he pulls out. He takes off the condom and ties it before tossing it in the trash. It’s almost humiliating, the way he seems so completely done with you.

But then he’s back on you.

His lips are all over your neck. Your chest. Your breasts. 

His tongue circles one of your nipple before taking it into his mouth, nibbling on it.

“F-Fuck.”It’s too much. You had never known yourself to be so sensitive and responsive, but you can’t help the way your body jolts. “Please―” 

Your toes curl and, once again, your hands tangle into Dabi’s hair as he takes your nipple back into his mouth and begins sucking and nibbling on it again. The way Dabi sucks on them―rolling the sensitive bud around with his tongue and kneading your other breast with his other hand—is enough to cause you to moan loudly and lewdly again. 

His lips trail from one breast to the other and he pays them the same attention.

You thought that you were finally starting to get your mind back. You thought your mind was finally becoming clear again, but then you feel his fingers slip back into you and you’re in a haze all over again.

This time, though, it does not take much.

Another, weaker orgasm hits you. It hurts a bit—it’s never hurt before but it does now. Your body is spent. You can’t take anymore. 

And really, even when you and Keigo were good—when your relationship was at its peak—you’d never felt like this before. You’d never experienced this kind of fatigue. It feels good. Experiencing this makes you feel good. Even better, really.

“Too much.”You whisper almost inaudibly, tugging at his hair to get him to stop. 

Dabi pulls away from you and this time, he’s got a satisfied smirk on his face. From the look in his eyes, it’s obvious that he is pleased with himself.

For a short while neither one of you say anything.

The air is dense. Heavy with the smell of sex and lust. And while you lay there on the desk, you think about what you’ve just done and why you don’t feel even an inkling of guilt.

You sit up finally, and put back on the bra he has retrieved. While you do so, he puts on his own shirt and further fixes his appearance. And then he walks back towards you, extending his hand for you to take. 

So you do.

He helps you from the desk but your legs are so weak you would have completely fallen if it had not been for him.

And the amusement glinting in his eyes lets you know that he knows that. But thankfully, he doesn’t comment on it. Instead, he retrieves your purse for you and, when you’re ready, walks you to the door. 

“Your boyfriend is fucking stupid, by the way,”Dabi whispers as his large, warm hands soothingly rubs up and down your bare arms. And then he leans in, kissing you softly on the lips. He cups your face in his hands while yours hold onto the hem of his shirt, gripping it tightly. And when his tongue enters your mouth, you welcome it.

But the kiss ends before anything new can start up and you can’t help but feel a tad bit disappointed. 

You know that this is goodbye, though. 

Of course it is. 

This was a one time—one night thing. 

But you’ve received more attention in this one night than you have received in the last eight months from your supposed boyfriend.

You don’t look back as you walk out the door. 

Or, at least, you try not to.

It’s hard not to, but you fight every urge and instinct to do so. 

And just as you walk back out onto the main floor, Rumi is snatching you up and pulling you off to the side. 

“We’re leaving.”She tells you. 

Which you don’t argue against. With the night you’ve had, you certainly aren’t in the mood to dance anymore. In fact, you could really use a shower and a nice, warm bed right about now.

Besides, you know that you owe it to her to explain. And, maybe, as you explain it to her, you can make some sense of it for yourself as well.

My iCloud was hacked. I have no idea why/how this happened, considering I’m a nobody. I record all of my zoom readings so I hope it’s just a glitch. If we’ve had a reading on there I’m sorry!

Has this happened to anyone else? It says I changed my password and I didn’t…

context. 17 y/o not in school, homeless, lowkey estranged from her parents. father is unemployed and lying abt it, abusive and his ego is constantly reacting to his material precaritys impact on his manhood, sits at my old shop all day doing nothing. mom, actually employed, covering for dad, also used to work at my old shop before being fired for stealing a stack of cash, getting worse w her precarity and also sits at the shop a lot a lot. no idea where her lor bro sleeps. no idea how old he is too, could be 12 in an 8 year olds body for all i kno

so i pick her up at 1030, we go to the mall and check the ubreakifix type place and they dont work on iphone 8s. bet. we have a spare XR she bought off her big bro. missing sim tray, got a free replacement from the shop. go to the apple store, the XR is permalocked unless factory reset from the icloud acct tethered to the device (truly dystopian imo), schedule genius bar appt for tmrw at 11. take her back to her friends house, the one i hired a month before i left so she could have a comrade and a place to stay nearish work that isnt her moms (although they were kicked out of their motel right when i hired steven i think. so, unhappy coincidence?).

sis works then so i drop her off at work at 9 and take her phone w me. go home come back to the mall. genius at the bar says its busted, whatever. not like i been sayin that. its missing like the bottom 1/5 of the backing like straight up exposed circuitry and she leans it on its bottom edge on whatever flat surface she can find at her perpetually wet food service job. refurbished options more expensive than the cheap 'new' products, not saying much tho. deliver busted phone and info to her -- her mom and dad are there ofc -- go home. later pick her up that night (last night) and drive her to her gfs in the heights. oh also dropping steven and their mutual friend off at stevens on the way. whatever its like literally en route its actually kinda perfect every time.

apparently im picking her up this morning. Okay. oh yeah shes locked out of her paycard account. she locks the card when shes at 0 in case she gets an auto withdrawal thatll overdraft her. she got paid today so she was gonna unlock it but how did she access her acct previously? thumbprint. no password memory whatsoever. pretty fair, id say? she texted me asking for the last 4 of her SSN this morning. nobody picked up her call to the bank(?) until she called them in the car with me. the form required to change login credentials when u dont have account access required those digits and a form of photo id. no ability to access it from her ADP because the pw changed at some point but it still took her print.

reminder. shes homeless and out of school. she has a birth certificate but thats where my certainty of her documentation ends. ive run into this before where i wanted to start a real bank acct for her but they require legally viable photo id and even non driver state ids require 1. proof of permanent residence (X) and 2. proof of enrollment in school for minors (X) at the MVA.

so anyways weve kinda hit a wall with the limitations her unsupportive parents / guardians have provided! its taking up a large portion of my emotional, mental, physical, and temporal space in life right now so i wanted to make a post about it. my little bandaid desire is to at least set her up with a new phone which i estimate would be $200 minimum for actual 'verified third party vendors of used phones' but ugh i didnt budget for this.

oh the support seeking! if you know me and wanna ease the load on my sisters shoulders a but, id be grateful for some help raising funds for a new phone! ill include some $ links. if were unacquainted but youre reading this anyway and have a spare $5 wed love the support! thanks for reading :)

How Long Does It Take to Recover an Apple ID Account?

Apple ID is essential for accessing Apple services like iCloud, the App Store, Apple Music, and more. It is the gateway to personal data, app purchases, and syncing across Apple devices. However, losing access to your Apple ID, whether due to forgotten credentials, security issues, or account compromise, can be frustrating and stressful. The process of recovering an Apple ID depends on several factors, including the method of recovery and the information you have available.

In this article, we will discuss how long it typically takes to recover an Apple ID account, the steps involved in the recovery process, and tips to expedite the process. We will also highlight the importance of using Apple's official account recovery portal, iforgot.apple.com website, which is an essential tool for users attempting to regain access to their Apple accounts.

Common Reasons for Apple ID Account Recovery

Before diving into the recovery timeline, it’s important to understand why someone might need to recover their Apple ID account. The most common reasons include:

Forgotten Password: You may forget the password to your Apple ID, especially if you haven’t logged in for a while or recently changed it.

Account Locked or Disabled: If too many incorrect attempts are made to sign in, Apple may lock or disable your account for security reasons.

Compromised Account: If there is a suspicion that your Apple ID has been hacked or compromised, you might be locked out of the account.

Security Questions Forgotten: If you set up security questions during Apple ID creation but forget the answers, you might need to go through recovery.

Two-Factor Authentication Issues: Problems with receiving two-factor authentication (2FA) codes or losing access to your trusted device can lead to recovery steps.

The recovery time will depend on which of these issues you are facing, as well as the recovery method you choose.

Methods for Apple ID Account Recovery

Apple offers several methods for recovering your Apple ID account. Depending on the method you choose, the recovery process can range from a few minutes to several days. Below are the primary methods for recovering your Apple ID.

1. Resetting Password via iforgot.apple.com

One of the quickest ways to recover your Apple ID is to reset your password using iforgot.apple.com. This is Apple's dedicated account recovery portal, where users can enter their Apple ID (email) and follow the steps to reset the password. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Visit iforgot.apple.com and enter your Apple ID.

Step 2: Follow the prompts to confirm your identity. You may be asked to enter the phone number associated with your account or answer security questions.

Step 3: If you have two-factor authentication enabled, Apple will send a verification code to your trusted device or phone number.

Step 4: Once the verification code is entered, you can create a new password and regain access to your account.

In most cases, resetting your password via iforgot.apple.com takes just a few minutes if you have access to your trusted device or phone number. However, if you don’t have access to your trusted devices or are unable to verify your identity, the process may take longer.

2. Using Two-Factor Authentication

If two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled on your Apple ID, recovering your account becomes a bit more secure but may also take more time if you don’t have access to your trusted device. Here’s how the 2FA recovery process works:

Step 1: When you attempt to sign in to your Apple ID and forget your password, you can choose the option to reset it using 2FA.

Step 2: Apple will send a verification code to your trusted device (such as your iPhone or Mac) or a trusted phone number.

Step 3: Enter the verification code to confirm your identity.

Step 4: Once confirmed, you can reset your password and regain access to your Apple ID.

If you don’t have access to your trusted device or phone number, you may have to go through account recovery, which could take several days (as explained below).

3. Account Recovery via iforgot.apple.com

If you are unable to reset your password using the methods above (e.g., no access to trusted devices or phone numbers), Apple offers an account recovery process via iforgot.apple.com. This method is typically used as a last resort when you are completely locked out of your account and unable to verify your identity using other means.

Step 1: Start the account recovery process at iforgot.apple.com.

Step 2: You will be asked to provide details about your account, such as the Apple ID, phone number, and any information that can help Apple verify your identity.

Step 3: Apple will notify you via email or text that the account recovery process has started. This process can take several days, depending on the information you provide and the complexity of the situation.

Step 4: Once Apple verifies your identity, they will send instructions to your email or phone on how to reset your password and regain access to your account.

This method is time-consuming because Apple manually reviews your account recovery request to ensure that you are the legitimate owner of the Apple ID. The timeline can vary, but it typically takes anywhere from 3 to 7 days. In some cases, it could take longer, especially if additional verification steps are required.

4. Recovering an Account without Two-Factor Authentication

If your Apple ID is not protected by two-factor authentication, you may be asked to answer security questions or receive an email to reset your password. This process is relatively straightforward, but the time it takes depends on your ability to correctly answer the security questions or access your email account.

Step 1: Visit iforgot.apple.com and enter your Apple ID.

Step 2: Choose the option to answer security questions or receive a password reset email.

Step 3: If you correctly answer the security questions or click on the reset link sent to your email, you can reset your password and regain access to your account.

This method is usually quick, taking only a few minutes if you have access to your email or remember the answers to your security questions. However, if you can’t access your email or answer the security questions, you’ll need to go through the more time-consuming account recovery process.

Factors Affecting Apple ID Recovery Time

The time it takes to recover an Apple ID account depends on several factors:

Method of Recovery: As discussed above, using iforgot.apple.com for password reset with access to trusted devices or email can be completed within minutes. However, account recovery without access to trusted devices can take several days.

Availability of Trusted Devices: If you have access to your trusted devices or phone number, the recovery process is much faster. Without them, the recovery process becomes more complex and time-consuming.

Two-Factor Authentication: Having two-factor authentication enabled provides an extra layer of security, but it can also slow down the recovery process if you lose access to your trusted devices.

Verification Requirements: The more information you provide during the recovery process, the quicker Apple can verify your identity. If you are unable to provide sufficient information, Apple may require additional verification, which can extend the recovery timeline.

Account Compromise: If your account was compromised, Apple may take extra steps to secure it, which can delay recovery. In cases of suspicious activity, Apple might lock your account and require additional verification steps.

Email Delays: If you’re relying on receiving a password reset email, delays with your email provider can add time to the recovery process.

How to Expedite Apple ID Recovery

While some delays in Apple ID recovery are inevitable, there are a few steps you can take to speed up the process:

Use Trusted Devices: Ensure that your trusted devices (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) are in good working order and that you have access to them.

Update Contact Information: Keep your phone number, email, and security questions up to date in your Apple ID account settings to ensure smooth recovery if needed.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Enabling 2FA can prevent unauthorized access and reduce the likelihood of needing a lengthy account recovery process.

Keep Backup Codes: If you have two-factor authentication enabled, consider saving backup codes in a secure place in case you lose access to your trusted devices.

Respond Quickly to Emails: If Apple sends you a notification or instructions via email during the recovery process, respond promptly to avoid delays.

Conclusion

Recovering an Apple ID account can take anywhere from a few minutes to several days, depending on the method you use and the information you have available. In most cases, using iforgot.apple.com website and having access to your trusted devices or email will result in a quick recovery. However, if you are locked out of your trusted devices or require manual account recovery, the process can take several days or longer.

By following the tips provided in this article and keeping your account information up to date, you can minimize the time it takes to recover your Apple ID in the event of a lockout.

Ensuring the security of your Apple ID is essential, but there are instances when users find themselves locked out of their accounts. This often happens when they've forgotten the answers to their security questions. In such cases, many users ask, "Can I recovery apple id if I forgot the answers to my account recovery questions?"

In this detailed guide, we'll explore different methods and strategies that can help you regain access to your Apple ID, even if you've forgotten your account recovery answers. One particularly valuable resource is Apple's "iforgot" tool for resetting your password and account recovery. This guide will also shed light on other potential solutions for restoring your Apple ID and ensuring its continued security.

What Are Apple ID Security Questions?

Before diving into the recovery process, it is important to understand the role of security questions in your Apple ID. Apple requires users to set up security questions when they create their Apple ID to provide an extra layer of security. These questions are used when Apple needs to verify your identity, particularly during password recovery and other critical processes, like changing security settings.

Typically, these questions cover topics such as:

"What was the name of your first pet?"

"What was your dream job as a child?"

"What was the model of your first car?"

The answers to these questions are meant to be unique and personal, something only the account holder would know. However, if you’ve forgotten the answers to these security questions, gaining access to your Apple ID can become a bit more challenging. Fortunately, there are several recovery options you can try.

Steps to Recover Your Apple ID Without Security Question Answers

Apple provides multiple ways to recover your Apple ID. Here are the steps and options you can explore:

1. Use Apple's "iforgot" Tool

One of the primary methods to recover your Apple ID if you forget the answers to your account recovery questions is to use Apple's official password recovery tool: iforgot.apple.com.

How to Use the "iforgot" Tool

Visit the "iforgot" Website: Go to iforgot.apple.com on any device.

Enter Your Apple ID: You will be prompted to enter your Apple ID email address. Make sure to provide the correct email.

Verify Your Identity: If you've forgotten your security questions, the system will guide you to verify your identity through other means, such as using two-factor authentication, receiving a verification code on your trusted device, or answering questions about your Apple account that are not part of your security questions.

Reset Your Password: After successfully verifying your identity, you will be able to reset your Apple ID password. Once you’ve done this, you can regain access to your account.

This method is effective for many users, especially if they have two-factor authentication enabled or access to their trusted devices. If, for some reason, this method doesn’t work, there are other approaches to consider.

2. Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

If you've set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Apple ID, you can bypass the need for security questions altogether. Two-factor authentication is an added layer of security that requires a code in addition to your password when you sign in. This code can be sent to one of your trusted devices, such as an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

How to Use Two-Factor Authentication for Recovery:

Sign In with Your Apple ID: On a new or untrusted device, attempt to sign in with your Apple ID and password.

Receive the Verification Code: Apple will send a six-digit verification code to your trusted device(s). Enter the code when prompted.

Reset Your Password: Once verified, you will be prompted to reset your Apple ID password. You can then regain access to your account without the need for security questions.

It's important to note that if you haven't set up two-factor authentication, you should consider doing so in the future to enhance the security of your account and make account recovery easier.

3. Use Account Recovery

Account recovery is another method Apple provides if you're locked out of your account. It is designed to help you regain access to your Apple ID when you cannot reset your password or receive verification codes.

Steps to Initiate Account Recovery:

Visit the "iforgot" Website: Start by visiting iforgot.apple.com and entering your Apple ID.

Select "Don’t have access to your security questions?": If prompted for your security questions, you will often see an option to bypass them if you cannot remember the answers.

Start Account Recovery: Follow the prompts to start the account recovery process. Apple will guide you through providing as much information as possible to verify your identity.

Wait for Recovery: Account recovery can take several days, depending on the information you provide and the complexity of your case. Apple may contact you via email or phone to confirm your identity.

Regain Access: Once your identity has been verified, Apple will allow you to reset your password and regain access to your Apple ID.

This process may be slower than other methods, but it is essential when other recovery options have failed.

4. Contact Apple Support

If you've tried all the methods above and still cannot regain access to your Apple ID, contacting Apple Support directly might be the best option. Apple Support has access to additional tools that can help in difficult cases.

How to Contact Apple Support:

Go to Apple's Support Website: Visit support.apple.com and navigate to the Apple ID section.

Explain Your Situation: Describe your problem, mentioning that you’ve forgotten the answers to your security questions and have tried the "iforgot" tool and account recovery without success.

Receive Guidance: Apple Support may guide you through additional recovery steps or escalate your case for further investigation.

While waiting for support, be prepared to provide as much information as possible about your account to confirm your identity. This could include your previous passwords, details about your Apple devices, or payment methods linked to your account.

Preventing Future Lockouts

After recovering your Apple ID, it's essential to take preventive steps to ensure that you don't face the same issue again. Here are some best practices:

1. Set Up Two-Factor Authentication

If you haven’t already done so, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Apple ID. 2FA is one of the most secure ways to protect your account, as it requires not only your password but also a verification code sent to one of your trusted devices.

How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication:

Go to Settings: On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app and tap on your Apple ID at the top of the screen.

Select "Password & Security": In the Apple ID menu, tap on "Password & Security."

Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Tap on "Turn on Two-Factor Authentication" and follow the prompts to set it up.

By doing this, you'll add an extra layer of security to your Apple ID and avoid issues related to forgotten security questions in the future.

2. Update Security Information

Ensure that your recovery email address and phone number are up to date. This way, Apple can reach you if you ever need to recover your account again. You can also review and update your security questions periodically to ensure they remain relevant.

How to Update Security Information:

Sign In to Your Apple ID Account: Visit appleid.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID.

Select "Security": Navigate to the "Security" section, where you can review your trusted devices, phone numbers, and security questions.

Update Your Information: Make any necessary updates and save your changes.

3. Use a Password Manager

To avoid losing access to your Apple ID due to forgotten passwords or security answers, consider using a password manager. These tools store your passwords and recovery information securely, so you don't have to rely on memory alone.

Some of the most popular password managers include:

1Password

LastPass

Dashlane

By using a password manager, you'll have a secure way to store all your account details and recovery information.

Conclusion

Recovering your Apple ID if you've forgotten the answers to your security questions may seem daunting, but Apple provides several tools to help you regain access. The iforgot.apple.com tool is an excellent first step, especially if you have two-factor authentication enabled or a trusted device. Account recovery and contacting Apple Support offer additional methods if the basic options don't work.

Ensuring your Apple ID is secure by setting up two-factor authentication, keeping your recovery information updated, and using a password manager will protect your account from future lockouts. These proactive measures can give you peace of mind and make managing your Apple ID easier and more secure.

Ultimately, while forgetting security questions can be a hassle, with the right tools and practices, you can successfully recovery apple id and continue using Apple's vast array of services.

Iforgot.Apple.Com Scam: How To Avoid?

Imagine receiving an email with the subject line “URGENT ACTION NEEDED!” The body of the message claims your Apple ID has been compromised due to suspicious activity. Panic might set in, but before you hit that “reset password” button, take a deep breath. This could very well be a phishing attempt designed to steal your login credentials.

Phishing scammers are on the field again, this time targeting Apple users with emails claiming their accounts have been compromised and directing them to a fake website (iforgot.apple.com) to “reset” their passwords. Don’t be fooled. In this article, we’ll discuss the Iforgot.apple.com scam and How to Avoid it.

What Is The IForgot.Apple.Com Scam?

Before knowing about the scam, let’s know what iForget is. iForgot is Apple’s official website to help users recover their Apple IDs and reset passwords. So, if you have forgotten your Apple ID password, head on to the website to ensure prompt and secure resolution of iCloud ID issues. Then what is the scam all about?

That’s where the scam starts. Cyber scammers and fraudsters exploit the iForgot feature to get your Apple IDs and passwords. They will send you fake emails from the iForgot email ID, containing fake links and malware. The email would resemble the original email that you received from the official iForgot website. When you tap on the link or download any attachment, you’ll be redirected to a website where they’ll ask you to enter your old Apple ID and password.

How Does The IForgot.Apple.Com Scam Work?

Here’s how the iForgot Apple scam works.

The Phishing Email: You receive a cleverly disguised email, supposedly from Apple Support. The subject line might be alarming, something like “Your Apple ID has been locked” or “Unauthorized sign-in attempt.“

Sense of Urgency: The email body creates a sense of panic. It might claim that your account has been compromised or that suspicious activity has been detected. The message insists you must act immediately.

The Fake Link: Within the email, there’s a prominent link that seemingly leads to iforgot.apple.com, Apple’s legitimate password reset site. However, the displayed text and the actual link destination are different. This trick is designed to fool you.

The Phishing Website: Upon clicking the link, you’re redirected to a fake Apple ID login page that closely resembles the official one. Unaware, you enter your Apple ID credentials and password.

Data Theft: The moment you submit your information on the fake site, it reaches the scammers. They now have full control over your Apple ID.

How To Prevent IForgot.Apple Scam?

If you receive anonymous mail, the safest thing you can do is ignore it or even delete it. If you don’t click on any link, download any software, or interact with the email in any way, there’s nothing a scammer can do. The scams only work if you click on their links.

To save yourself from falling victim to such scams, exercise caution with any email or message requesting personal information, particularly if it comes from an unfamiliar source. Always verify the sender’s authenticity before clicking on any links or providing login details. If you’re uncertain whether a website is genuine or fake, it’s advisable to navigate directly to the official Apple website and log in from there. Here are some other things that you can consider:

Never click any link from emails: If you want to reset your password, go to “iforgot.apple.com” directly in your web browser or navigate to it through the official Apple website. Never click links within suspicious emails.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication: This adds an extra layer of security to your Apple ID. When you enable it, you will need a code to log into your Apple account.

Strengthen Your Password: Use a unique, complex password for your Apple ID and change it regularly. Avoid reusing the same password across different services.

Trust Your Instincts: If something feels “off” about an email, it probably is. The safest thing is to be vigilant.

How To Spot An IForgot.Apple Scam?

The iForgot scam mail is received by many users. To protect yourself from such scams, you need to know what the mail or the scam looks like. Here’s all you need to know about the mail:

Email Sender: Carefully scrutinize the sender’s address. While it might look official at first glance, it likely won’t end in “@apple.com.” Scammers often use slight misspellings or unrelated domains.

Poor Grammar and Spelling: Genuine Apple communications are rigorously edited. Typos, strange phrasing, or awkward wording should raise suspicion.

Urgent Mail: Scammers want you to panic and make rash decisions. In the mail, you’ll see aggressive time limits like “verify within 24 hours” or dire threats like “your account will be permanently deleted.”

Unexpected Links: Hover your mouse over any links in the email (without clicking) to reveal their true address. If it doesn’t match a legitimate Apple domain, it’s a scam.

Requests for Personal Info: Apple will never ask for your password, credit card numbers, social security numbers, or similar sensitive information directly in an email.

What Happens If You Mistakenly Click On The Link?

If you get a link in your email asking for your Apple ID and password or just an attachment to download, it’s better not to open the link. But what happens if you open the link and even enter your ID and password? Here’s what can happen:

Account Takeover: Scammers could immediately change your password, locking you out of your account.

Identity Theft: Access to your Apple ID allows access to personal data like your name, address, and potentially credit card information.

App Store Fraud: Scammers might make unauthorized purchases on the App Store using your linked payment methods.

Data Hijacking: It could give them iCloud access, which means photos, documents, and other sensitive files.

Phishing Your Contacts: Scammers controlling your account could send similar scam emails to your contacts list, spreading the trap further.

Conclusion

That’s all about the iforgot.apple.com scam and how you can avoid such scams. The scam works only if you give your information. If you don’t react to such mail, it is useless and will not cause any harm. In case you have already entered your ID and password, it is better to change your password as soon as possible. If you can’t, head to the nearest Apple center. The best prevention is to be vigilant about such mail. Refer to the article for more details. In case of any doubt, do let us know in the comment section below.

How To On Sideload Apps Iphone Using Altstore

Using AltStore to sideload apps on your iPhone is a great method to get access to more apps than just those available in the official App Store. With AltStore, users may install apps from outside the Apple ecosystem with greater customisation and flexibility than with other app installers. Sideloading with AltStore can provide endless opportunities for anyone interested in exploring new programs, be they a developer, beta tester, or just an app enthusiast. We'll walk you through the entire process of sideloading apps on your iPhone with AltStore in this in-depth guide, making sure it's a safe and easy approach.

What is AltStore?

For iOS devices that aren't jailbroken, AltStore is a substitute app store that may be used to sideload apps. It offers a more open and flexible method of managing apps by enabling users to install programs from sources other than the App Store. With the use of the user's personal development certificate, AltStore, an iOS app, resigns apps and forwards them to AltServer, a desktop program that installs the resigned apps back onto the device via iTunes WiFi sync.

With security in mind, AltStore offers comprehensive details about an app's permissions directly from its store page. In order to guarantee sideloading with trust, it also automatically notifies users whenever an app's permissions change. A committed two-person team develops the open-source app store, which is fully funded by community donations. Users have the ability to peruse applications from reputable developers or add more "sources" to expand their selection.

What Is the role of Altserver? 

As your computer's companion app, AltServer is an essential part of the AltStore ecosystem. Enabling AltStore to sideload software onto your device is its main purpose. AltServer needs to be directly connected via USB or operating on the same WiFi network as your iPhone in order to accomplish this. This enables AltStore to interact with AltServer and carry out different operations like sideloading, refreshing, and turning on and off programs.

In the first place, Altstore is installed via AltServer as well. You can manually update your AltStore if it expires by reinstalling it using AltServer and leaving the current AltStore intact. This guarantees that the sideloading process continues smoothly. Furthermore, AltServer facilitates AltStore's weekly automated app refreshes. AltServer can be made to run in the background and be launched at computer startup to make sure AltStore can work effectively. In general, AltServer serves as a conduit between your computer and iPhone, making sideloading easier and improving the user experience all around.

How to setup Altstore?

Prior to executing the stages, it is important to keep a few things in mind. Users will require a PC with iTunes and iCloud installed, as AltServer requires weekly Apple ID login. Additionally, customers running iOS 16 or higher must enable developer mode. This is how you do it:

Open the Settings app.

Navigate to Privacy and Security.

Scroll down to Developer Mode.

Toggle it on.

Additionally, make sure you download and install iCloud [here] and iTunes [here] from Apple's website rather than the Windows Store if you intend to install the server on a Windows device. After downloading:

Download AltStore on your computer and transfer it to your applications folder.

After installation, connect your iPhone to the computer and designate it as a trusted device.

Download and launch AltServer on your computer, then run it.

Open the iTunes app and enable the “Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi” setting.

Click on the AltServer icon located in the top left menu bar and select the “Install AltStore” button.

Choose your device from the dropdown menu.

Enter your Apple ID and password.

You should receive an AltServer notification confirming that the app was successfully installed.

On your iPhone, navigate to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, then click on the Trust button.

Install apps from Altstore

 You must configure AltServer on your Windows computer and link it to your iPhone or iPad in order to install an app from AltStore. Install AltServer first by downloading it from the AltStore website. Next, launch the AltServer application on your computer and adhere to the instructions to install AltStore on your gadget. Make sure your iPhone and PC are linked to the same wireless network. Locate the app you wish to install using AltStore on your device, then choose it by clicking the "Install" button. Your device will receive a sideload of the app. By choosing the "My Apps" tab and pressing the "Plus" symbol to add the IPA file, you may also install apps using IPA files.

open the AltStore application.

Find the software that you want to install.

Maintain the AltServer app open and make sure you are linked to the same wireless network as the server device.

Once the app is installed, you're done!

Digital decluttering

Day 3

Today I got a new phone - the original one was in a pretty shitty condition (cracked screen, poor battery life and so on), so it was high time to change to a new one.

First, my idea was to give this device a brand new iCloud profile. Then, I did not want to create another account (again), I already have so many accounts that I cannot really keep track of them at all anymore. So I decided to use my original account with the new phone BUT without syncronizing all the things I had on my previous iPhone. Start anew! Yes, baby! What a great idea!

No. It was a TERRIBLE idea. I have so many apps, so many profiles with different passwords on my previous device that it's just silly not to transfer all the stuffs from there. To realize this, I had to download and log into all the apps I use on a daily basis... Such a waste of time.

I also had to face all the unnecessary photos, notes, voice recordings, pdf files etc. that made my iCloud stuffed. They made me soooooooo nervous. Why did I let these things pile up and take so many place? Anyway, I deleted a lot of stuff - it was intersting to see to which files I was not able to say goodbye, some examples:

photos of nice places, people and memories,

gosztonyi Street Podcast episodes,

song ideas that might be hits one day.

And what's next? I'll move my previous phone's stuff to the new one. It might take some hours. I need to be patient. No rush (though first I rushed this thing through). I wish I had done it in a way I was told in the mobile shop.

Sometimes I think, I know the tuti - but honestly... deep down I knew it wouldn't work out - there must be a good reason behind why people don't do this phone upgrading thing the way I originally imagined. Still, if I can really move all the settings to the new phone, I'll have to continue my digital decluttering. DAMN, I COULD DELETE EVERYTHING. Good God, I can be so impulsive, you know, when I want something, I want it NOW. And what do I want? Order. Peace. Everything to be at it's place. Trash needs to be thrown into the bin. Treasure needs to be digged. It takes so much time.

How I'm feeling now in one song:

How to Unlock an iPhone Without the Passcode? - ITMlab

For more visit: How to Unlock an iPhone Without the Passcode? - ITMlab

If you’ve forgotten your iPhone’s passcode, you’ll need to find another way to unlock it. There are two ways to do this: resetting or unfreezing the device. You can only use these methods if you know the last date and time that someone used the phone last, but it’s worth noting that it doesn’t matter whether or not they’re still using it today. In this article we’ll show you how to unlock an iPhone without a passcode using both methods so let’s get started!

How to Unfreeze an iPhone

If your iPhone has a passcode, you can use it to unfreeze the device.

In Settings, tap Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode on an iPhone X or later).

Enter your passcode and tap Turn Off Screen Lock or Change Passcode if prompted to do so by entering an old one that’s no longer valid and then creating a new one for future use when prompted again by iOS 11+ devices or earlier versions of iOS 10 – 12+.

Once the screen is unlocked after entering your security code correctly, go back into Settings and navigate down until you find General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings; then tap Reset All Settings near the bottom right corner of this page next time you need help with any kind of problem related specifically towards these two different types as well as other common ones involving battery life issues etc., which are often caused by third party apps installed on top of stock apps preinstalled within Windows Phone 8 OS software packages themselves rather than being caused by hardware itself failing due entirely instead due partially maybe even slightly due mostly perhaps entirely too much stress placed upon physical components inside those phones’ casing which causes them eventually break down over time leading up until eventually breaking down completely leaving nothing left behind except maybe some dust particles floating around inside air pockets created under pressure between different parts connected together tightly enough together tightly enough so not too many particles escape through cracks created during production process at factory level back when manufacturing line workers were still working hard trying hard laboriously day after day night after night

How to Unlock a Locked iPhone Without the Passcode

If you’re locked out of your iPhone and don’t know the passcode, there are a few ways to unlock it.

Use the emergency call option: If you can’t use Touch ID or Face ID because of an injury or other reason, go to Settings > Emergency SOS and tap “Call.” You’ll be able to make an emergency phone call without unlocking your device.

Connect the phone to a computer: If you have access to a computer, connect it through iTunes or iCloud (depending on which service was used when setting up the passcode). In both cases, this will allow iTunes/iCloud Backup & Restore options that will let you restore from a backup without entering any passwords or passcodes at all!

How to Reset the Passcode on an iPhone 7 or Older

If you have an iPhone 7 or older, resetting your passcode is a little different than unlocking it.

First, turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud settings. Launch Settings on your device and select General > Reset. Scroll down and select Erase All Content and Settings, then tap Erase iPhone (or whatever name pops up).

Resetting the passcode on a newer iPhone is slightly different. First, turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud settings. This will prevent the phone from being locked if it’s lost or stolen in the future. Then, launch Settings on your device and select General > Reset. Scroll down and select Erase All Content and Settings, then tap Erase iPhone. Wait for your device to reset itself and then set it up as a new device from scratch using its default settings.

If you’re trying to unlock an iPhone without the passcode, here’s how:

Resetting the passcode on a newer iPhone is slightly different. First, turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud settings. This will prevent the phone from being locked if it’s lost or stolen in the future. Then, launch Settings on your device and select General > Reset. Scroll down and select Erase All Content and Settings, then tap Erase iPhone (or Erase All). Wait for your device to reset itself and then set it up as a new device from scratch using its default settings.

You can use one of these methods to unlock your phone without the passcode

There are two ways to unlock an iPhone without a passcode. If your phone is not protected by a passcode, then there’s nothing stopping you from simply pressing the home button and seeing if it unlocks. If it does, then great! You don’t have to worry about anything else right now.

If your iPhone is protected by a passcode but you forgot what it was set up as (or if someone changed it), then there are still options available for unlocking it without entering that code.

If you’re looking for a way to unlock your iPhone without using its passcode, then this article is for you. We’ve discussed all of the different options available to you and explained how they work in detail. Hopefully, one of them will work for your situation!

Though they are one of its weakest points, passwords have long served as the foundation of digital security. A significant security risk is created when users reuse the same password across several services since they frequently find it difficult to remember multiple complicated passwords. iCloud Keychain and the Passwords app in iOS 18 are two of Apple’s recent efforts to address the problems caused by passwords. The company was made aware of these difficulties in the past.

Built with a more intuitive UI, biometric authentication built in, and seamless cross-device syncing, the Passwords app in iOS 18 is an improved version that builds on earlier advances. In some circumstances, Apple’s method can completely replace traditional passwords, as it not only streamlines password administration but also integrates emerging technologies like passkeys. With iOS 18, Apple ensures that consumers can enjoy convenience without compromising security by providing a comprehensive solution to the password dilemma.

Important Characteristics of the iOS 18 Passwords App

In order to enhance user experience and security, the Passwords app in iOS 18 has a number of new features. These characteristics consist of:

Consolidated Password Administration

Using iCloud Keychain and additional stored passwords from apps and browsers, the new Passwords app centralizes all of your login information in one location. Users can simply access, manage, and update all of their passwords on various devices, including Mac, iPad, and iPhone, thanks to this.

The Future of Login with Passkeys

Passkeys, which seek to do away with the necessity for conventional passwords completely, are one of the most noteworthy features in iOS 18. Passkeys use public-private key pairs to authenticate users without passwords. Face ID or Touch ID protects passkeys, which are stored in the Secure Enclave on the user’s device. Since passkeys can’t be phished or published online, they’re more secure.

Better Authentication Through Biometrics

App and website secure login is made simpler and faster with the Passwords app’s integration with Apple’s biometric authentication methods, such as Face ID and Touch ID. Not only does this integration guarantee that only authorized users can access user credentials, but it also removes the need for complicated password entry.

Passwords That Automatically Adopt

When creating new accounts, iOS 18 has the capability to automatically suggest strong, one-of-a-kind passwords as part of Apple’s ongoing effort to promote excellent security practices. Passwords app users can change the generated passwords to their liking, and these ideas are safely saved inside.

Exchange of Passwords

With iCloud Family Sharing, iOS 18 brings secure password sharing. Without disclosing other private information, users can communicate some passwords to dependable family members. Families that share subscriptions or accounts may find this option especially helpful.

Handled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Integration

Two-factor authentication (2FA) codes may now be easily managed by the app. When signing in, users who depend on this extra security layer will have less friction because it can create 2FA codes for websites and apps that enable it. These codes will automatically fill in.

Security Recommendations and Auditing Passwords

In order to verify that saved passwords match databases of known compromised credentials, Apple has improved the password security auditing capability. Users can change their passwords and receive advice from the Passwords app if any of their credentials have been compromised. Not only that, but users receive recommendations for better, more secure passwords to use in place of weak or repurposed ones.

Apple passwords app

With iOS 18, Apple continues to prioritize security and privacy. A number of security measures are incorporated into the Passwords app to guarantee that user credentials are kept secret and safe.

Encryption at the Device

End-to-end encryption is used to protect all passkeys and passwords, which are kept locally on the device. As a result, consumers may be as private as possible because not even Apple has access to their credentials.

Protected Area

A specific hardware element in Apple products called the Secure Enclave is where passkeys are kept safe. Apple makes sure that their authentication data is safe from hackers and malware by storing passkeys here and limiting access to just the user.

Not using a centralized database

By keeping critical information decentralized, Apple’s solution differs from standard password managers that store user data on cloud servers. The iCloud allows passwords to be synchronized between devices, but they stay encrypted and can only be unlocked on machines that the user has designated as trusted. Mass data breaches, a frequent weakness for password management services, are significantly less likely as a result.

Secure Biometrics

Using passkeys and accessing the Passwords app requires biometric authentication, which adds an additional degree of protection. You would still need to enable Face ID or Touch ID to view or use your passwords even if someone were to physically reach your device.

Summary: Using iOS 18 to Simplify Passwords

Apple has committed to enhancing security and user experience once more with the release of the Passwords app in iOS 18. Apple is spearheading the shift away from passwords and toward a future where they are not only easier to manage but may someday become obsolete with its advanced features like passkeys, integrated 2FA, and secure password sharing.
