I recently let my ex-friend use my Apple ID on her refurbished iPhone. However, I've since changed my password and removed her device from my account. Now, she's threatening to delete my Apple ID unless I give her access back, claiming she needs it for an app. Should I be worried about this threat?

There’s really no way for her to delete your Apple account unless you give her the password. It might seem she’s trying to manipulate you by making such threats because she just wants access again. Sounds like you made the right call by removing her access. Just keep everything secure moving forward!
I'm not sure how she's planning to do that. Since you've changed your password and kicked her off your account, she really shouldn't have any way to access it. Just make sure two-factor authentication is set up. If she doesn't have that info, she's out of luck. Tell her she can get her own Apple ID instead of trying to manipulate you into giving her yours!
Honestly, no one can delete your account without the password. It's just silly she's trying to claim she needs your help for an app update but is making threats like that. It's best to keep your account secure and never sign in on someone else's device again. Just a good rule of thumb!
You’re right to be cautious. Make sure you’re using a strong password that’s different from other accounts. Check that your security settings are updated, and consider using a password manager. It could offer some peace of mind in situations like this. Don't sweat her threats too much; they're likely just empty.
First off, great job changing your password and removing her device! Just to be safe, make sure you sign out of all devices and activate two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security. And honestly, block her. She seems a bit pushy with her demands.
Thanks for the tips! I think I've covered all my bases already, but it's good to hear.
Totally! It's ridiculous. Sounds like she just wants to cause trouble.
