How to secure your Apple ID on iPhone, iPad, and Mac #28

Keep your account information up to date
Always check incoming messages related to your Apple ID. Apple will notify you via email, link, text, or push notifications when there are changes to your account, such as signing in to a new device or updating your password. Unknown log in attempts indicates that someone has used or is trying to log into your account that you did not authorize.
If this is you, please enable verification or change your password now. That's why it's important to keep your contact information up to date. I also recommend changing your Apple ID password if you created one a long time ago.
On iPhone or iPad: Tap Settings → your name → Name, phone numbers, email.
Mac with macOS 13 or later: Click Apple menu → System Preferences → Apple ID. Or visit your Apple ID account page in Safari.
Please update any incorrect information such as your name, contact information, phone number, email address, payment information, and shipping information. You can also update your Apple ID security questions after a few days.
Tap Password & Security to verify your trusted phone number and device if two-factor authentication is enabled. Also, check the apps that have access to your Apple ID. You can remove something from the list.
Adding Account Recovery and Old Contact Information
Apple recommends adding recovery contact information to reset your Apple ID password. Recovery contacts help you get back into your account if you forget your password or can't log in. Here's our step-by-step guide to setting up an Apple ID recovery contact on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
On the other hand, in Digital Legacy you can select people as legacy contacts. They can access your Apple ID if you die. Read about Apple's Digital Legacy in iOS 15: What it is and how to use it.
Create a recovery key for your account
With Apple, you can create a recovery key to reset your account password or regain access to your Apple ID. This way you can better manage the security of your account. The recovery key is a 28-digit code that is randomly generated and stored in a secure location. Instead of signing in to another device with your Apple ID, use a recovery key to reset your account password.
Manage applications and devices connected to your Apple ID
You can improve your Apple ID by removing all unknown devices associated with your Apple ID. Removing an unknown device ensures that it cannot receive verification codes or use iCloud and other Apple services. So check the apps associated with Apple ID:
Start Settings → Apple ID → Password and Security → Apps using Apple ID.
You will now see a list of applications. Tap Edit and red minus signs will appear.
Select the one you want to unlink and click Delete.
Then confirm your choice by selecting Stop Use in the pop-up window.
