evanjd··on Things the guys who stole my phone have texted me to try to get me to unlock it
The original iCloud email address is partially obfuscated “eg. e***@icloud.com”, so it’s unlikely to be useful.

For this, they’re most likely reading the phone number from the physical SIM card left in the device.

evanjd··on iOS now requires Sign On with Apple alongside other auth providers
The way we manage this by allowing users to link multiple identity providers to their login. So if they drop back to iOS 12, they can use another social provider (or reset their password) to sign into their existing account so long as the e-mail matches.

This obviously doesn't work for anonymous sign in, but there's not much we can do about that.
