I have an old iPhone 8 running iOS 16.5 and I've forgotten the Apple ID password. Years back, I deleted the Gmail account that my Apple ID was linked to, so I can't recover my password through that. I've tried various recovery methods, but the only suggestion I see is to deactivate my device using 3uTools, though I'm not sure if that would actually help. I'm also uncertain if two-factor authentication is enabled, but I do know that Find My iPhone is turned on.

It sounds like a tough situation! Fortunately, Apple has a support tool that might help you get back in: check out the [Apple Support website](https://al-support.apple.com/#/getsupport). Even if you have issues with the iForgot site saying your account is invalid, contacting Apple Support directly could be beneficial. They might be able to guide you through the recovery process instead of dealing with that 3uTools option.
Yeah, deactivating the device with 3uTools is a risky move. You might lose data, and it may not solve the password issue. Your best shot seems to be getting in touch with Apple Support directly. They could provide additional options you may not find online, especially considering the complications with your old email.
