Reply to comment by nch00 in someone stole my iphone and change my apple id password by nch00

even if it was unlocked, they would still need your old password to reset it. Unless you clicked on a malicious link that told you to reset your password and you ended up giving them the old password through that.

If it was unlocked, the theif probably went through their saved passwords, although that also requires biometric/password to get in. Perhaps it's an older touchid model that doesn't ask for verification for autofill on every use, so the theif just went to appleid.apple.com and changed the info

it’s too suspicious to be that coincidental. How long did the thieves plan this out to do all the things exactly the way it’s supposed to be.
