> showing ID to a phone store clerk is sufficient for iCloud recovery
Can you walk me through how that works? I don't know how Verizon, for instance, could get me that access. Or did you mean at an Apple store or something?

Basically: For some subset of iCloud Keychain users, SMS is used in combination with the lost device's passcode (or a user-chosen password) to recover the keychain. Since the device is lost, you re-issue the phone number with a carrier. I think 2FA or ADP may require another device or a recovery key, but my memory is hazy on this.
