I moved from iPhone 15 Plus to Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 and I love it but one thing I am still having issue with is platforms, that I previously used Apple Login with. What is the right approach to get those accounts working on Android?

Also, is there something similar to "Hide my E-mail" for Android / Samsung?

On other platforms, if app or web site coded properly, you should be prompted to enter your Apple ID username and password when you click the “Sign in with Apple” button.

This is why I have never used the Apple Log-in feature. I don't wanna be locked into Apple and Im not sure how it would work if I left as well.

Do you still have your 15 Plus or another Apple device? You can find the email addresses you used for each service/website, under iCloud settings.

Or go to appleid.apple.com from any browser, and tap the "Sign in with Apple" box.

This is Apple's Relay.

If you still have access to an iPhone, iPad or macos PC, sign in and authenticate with your credentials (can't be associated with someone else's icloud account).

Then in General, Passwords you'll see your Hide-My-Email Relay login email address for your accounts therein. access is strictly restricted to Apple's MFA push to theor devices that you've sign in & authenticated to.

You CANNOT access this via Icloud

Sign in
TAKE SCREENSHOTS AND SEND TO yourself don't rely of Apple's iCloud - especially if you changed your mobile number.
Immediately change to a real login ID or email address as the user name.
!!!!!! I f you simply remove from Apple's Relay the login account is deleted from record immediately no warning!!!!
And then you'll be unable to access said platform even if the Forgot My Password is closing for recovery cause you'll NEVER get that email!

Bro! Wise thinking.

I was so locked into Apple's double speak BS I found out the hard way last August- September when transitioning to Android!

This was further exasperated with using Apple's Encrypted Protetion which looks down not only the device but also icloud access and all their services. Theie recovery by using someone you trust that is signed in to their icloud and a push to their devices is LUDICRISLY painful and maddening.

I work in I.T. and beyond trusting Apple too much and not thinking like an I.T. professional (I left BBOS, Symbian and BB10 to reduce stress of troubleshooting a personal device after doing so 6days/wk every week for 13yrs). I'll tell you I've never wanted to throw a phone that I owned ever. Especially so hard and so fast and so far when it was in mint condition.

Unless Apple's IOS has finally exported Passwords as an application and accessible over icloud and resolved the failing encrypted device and services push over imessge to those you trust to recover your device password, I would advise against both.

Thanks for the feedback. Thankfully I did not use it for TOO many important platforms. What I have noticed is that the process differs from platform to platform, which makes this actually even more of a mess.

On some platforms, it is enough to simply login using Apple Account from a Mac and then change the E-Mail address followed by logging out and pressing the "forgotten password" function with the updated e-mail address to actually set up a password in the first place.

However, some platforms simply do not let you change the e-mail address so I had to type in the long randomised relay e-mail to login.

Lesson learned!
