Almost everyone worries about losing everything they have stored on a cloud service, but it's been more of a worry over the past year with having so much of our data, photos, videos, and even schedules online. Apple now offers a program that will lessen that worry. The iCloud Data Recovery Service allows individuals to be even more protected from losing all their data. With this new service, you can choose a couple of friends or family members that you trust to help you access this data if you get locked out.

Apple is offering a powerful new tool mediated by privacy for iCloud users. You can pick a trusted person or people for the awkwardly named iCloud Data Recovery Service. If you’re locked out of your account for some reason and can’t regain access, these contacts can receive a validation code and provide it to you, and you can unlock certain synced data.
