> lose the key and no one can get you back in to your account

sounds like a feature

"want to totally restart your entire digital life? just rip up your key :) never worry about something from your past coming back to you ever again!

That seems like the worst option. Everything up to the free tier would stay there forever with no way for you to ever request it to be deleted.

Turn on Advanced Data Protection before you rip up the key. Then it's all as good as deleted.

That’s a rather generous assumption.

Do Apple definitely not retain a key? If they don’t is the encryption quantum secure?

> Do Apple definitely not retain a key?

If this is the threat vector you’re worried about, you shouldn’t have had anything in iCloud (or any cloud for that matter) to begin with, rendering this debate completely moot.

Only if you do everything at Apple.

You make posts on twitter, it's not protected the same way.

I want to be upset that you've made a comment so obvious, yet sadly, there will be people in the wild that don't understand the silos platforms build. However, I doubt any of them are here reading this, but you never know.

Go read any thread about passkeys. :-)
