Advanced Data Protection: Should You Enable this New Security Feature

Advanced Data Protection increases security by extending end-to-end encryption to include iCloud Backup, iCloud Drive, Photos, Notes, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks, Siri Shortcuts, Voice Memos, and Wallet passes. But if you turn on Advanced Data Protection and forget your password, Apple won’t be able to help you recover your data.
Apple isn’t being cavalier about this risk. When you enable Advanced Data Protection, you must set up an alternate recovery method, preferably two. The simplest is a printed recovery key that you should store with other important papers, perhaps in a safe deposit box. The other is an account recovery contact, a trusted person who can verify your identity and help you regain access to your account.
Nor is Advanced Data Protection a one-way street. For example, if you ever decide the risk of forgetting your password is too significant, you can always turn it off and fall back to iCloud’s standard data protection.
