9to5Mac notes that Apple’s System Status web page doesn’t list any issues with any Apple services.Resetting your password can be a headache if you have Stolen Device Protection enabled on your device and are away from a trusted location. Resetting your password also clears any app-specific passwords you have set up via iCloud, which is another headache of its own.
