I don’t like Apple but it’s great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

    Nah the iCloud crap is literally just another account. Up until the moment you login to it, then it silently ties the device to that account for “security” purposes. I kept emailing the IT guy back saying I don’t know what I can do, I can see a list of devices here and that laptop has been removed from it.

    After him asking me for help repeatedly I felt I had to just give up, give him the password on a slack call, then immediately reset it once he’d done what he needed.

      Apple issue then, quite the anti feature. In any case, I hope the IT team learns from it and they create a company ID or several company IDs so this doesn’t happen again haha.
