if you don't have your icloud login/pw, then there won't be anything on icloud for you to access in the first place.
All you iKooks are posers as you _pretend_ to know something about Apple.
Apple is the antithesis of privacy.
The only place Apple is private is in their bullshit advertising slogans. Attempt privacy risk Apple lockout & then destroying your investment.
The facts remain facts:
a. To own an iOS device is to risk Apple unilaterally destroying it.
b. To use the iCloud is to risk Apple unilaterally locking you out.
All you have to do is _not_ log into the Apple tracking servers.
(Or, log into the Apple tracking servers using the privacy of a VPN.)
Facts notwithstanding, I need to be gentle with people like you are, nospam, because (a) you have no education at all, and (b) you have no technical experience at all, and (c) you know iOS even less than I do (& I never claim
to be an expert in iOS so you really do not know anything about iOS nospam).
You are a poser.
You would be fired the first day on the job if a customer shows you what I showed you and then you said the completely _ignorant_ things you just said.
1. Apple "ID Verification" prompts come up ten, twenty or more times a day.

2. Apple "Sign-in to iCloud" prompts come up a dozen or more times a day.

3. Apple won't let you sign in even with the _correct_ login & password.

4. The Apple web site is so poorly designed it doesn't even tell you why.

5. Eventually, as it did with one of my iPads already, Apple destroys it.

6. On my 2nd iPad, the Apple apps stop working (but everything else works!)

7. Every single day, many times a day, you're confronted with tracking crap
such as this "Some account services require you to sign in again"

8. Interestingly, you can update your iOS (which I almost never do) as shown
here where I updated this week from iOS 13 to iOS 15 (and it let me).

9. And you can wipe out your Siri recordings (due to the recent zero-day).

10. Yet Apple tracking servers still require "Apple ID Verification"
<

11. And, you can install an app, but if you delete it, you can't re-install.

12. In the end, if you attempt that forced validation on VPN, Apple
unilaterally destroys your investment by locking you out of it forever!
<

13. All because Apple tracking servers _require_ periodic ID verification.

All this happens if you don't log into Apple tracking servers periodically. (And because you used VPN in the Apple-tracking "ID Verification" step.)
Simply because I haven't logged into the iCloud manually for four years.
then whatever might be there is obviously not important to you.
And yet you don't understand a single thing about how iOS works, nospam.
That's because you only do _exactly_ what the walled garden asks you to do.
I don't.
I don't want to be tracked by Apple which tracks everything you do.
You only know Apple slogans, nospam.
You have no comprehension of what Apple actually does.
Again, it's because of three fundamental correct observations about you:
a. You have literally no education whatsoever
b. You clearly have no technical experience
c. As a result, you know iOS even less than I do
BTW, almost _everything_ is poorly designed at Apple, even the trust prompt.

<

Notice Apple never bothers to tell you that the prompt will come up forever, every single time you connect to a PC that doesn't have iTunes installed!
