There appears to be an increasingly widespread Apple ID outage of some sort impacting users tonight. A number of people across social media say that they were logged out of their Apple ID across multiple devices on Friday evening and forced to reset their password before logging back in…
Have you been signed out of your Apple ID?
Apple’s System Status webpage doesn’t indicate that any services are having issues this evening. Still, it’s clear based on social media reports that something wonky is going on behind the scenes at Apple. A few of us here at 9to5Mac have also been directly affected by the problem.
There doesn’t appear to be any rhyme or reason as to what’s happening. People are being signed out of their Apple ID across all of their devices, then forced to reset their passwords before being able to sign back in. If you try to sign in with your original Apple ID password, you’ll be locked out of your account.
We received our first tip about this around 8 p.m. ET. In the hours since then, the problem has gained significant traction on social media.
Whether what’s happening on Friday evening has any relation to the ongoing password reset attacks problem that we’ve been tracking for several weeks is unclear right now. Additionally, if you have Stolen Device Protection enabled, being signed out of an Apple ID randomly can present an especially big headache if you’re away from a trusted location.
I’ve asked Apple for more information and will update if I hear anything back. Have you been signed out of your Apple ID on your devices tonight? Let us know down in the comments.
I was mid FaceTime with @milesabovetech and my Apple account got locked and signed out of all of my Apple products
