Tips to prevent future problems with your Apple ID

To prevent problems with your Apple ID in the future, we have some tips for you:

  • Write down your Apple ID and password in a safe place, such as in a password manager or a notes app on your phone.

  • Set up two-step verification for your Apple ID to improve the security of your account. This adds an extra layer of security so that only you can access your account, even if someone else knows your password.
