What is Apple ID on iPhone, what is it for, how to get it

In the iOS system, you can install a special scan that will protect your device from hacking attempts or unauthorized actions. A special Apple ID verification service will block the user from actions that could damage the device or affect important data.

The developers allow all Apple device users to activate ID verification protection. After activating it, at some points you will have to enter the password for your account. This allows you to protect yourself from a number of suspicious transactions.

Check your mailboxes

First of all, open all the emails available to you and use the “Search” function to find emails from Apple there. They may be several years old. Such letters should contain information about initial registration and activation. If such letters are found, most likely this mailbox is your Apple ID login.

Keep in mind that when activating the device, the system shows the user the Apple ID that is current for the device, but does this in encrypted form. For example, instead there will be q••••••@gmail.com. This approach allows you to quickly remember the necessary mail.

Apple ID - what is it?

An Apple ID is a single account that Apple uses to identify users of its products. This account is created once and can be used to sign in to all Apple products. In particular, the Apple ID is used to log into services such as the App Store, the iTunes Store, iCloud cloud storage, and iMessage/iChat/FaceTime communication applications.

If you have accounts on sites such as Google or Yandex, then you are probably familiar with a similar system. For example, by registering your email with Google, you get an account that you can use to log in to all Google products. You don't need to register a separate account for Google mail, a separate account for Youtube, and so on. It’s the same with Apple ID, you register once and continue to use the same account.

Check your Apple services settings

If you logged into iTunes through your account, you need to run this program on your PC. There is a high probability that the user's data is stored there. Go to the “Account” tab in the program, where the last active user will be indicated.
If you used it on your computer iCloud – you need to open it and go to “Account Information”. The dossier will indicate the last linked Apple ID.
Check iTunes and iCloud on your computer

If you want to change your Apple ID after it's found, we recommend updating it in Settings for all Apple apps and services you use. Only one Apple ID is required. Using multiple Apple IDs may cause difficulties when accessing purchased content or using Apple services.

How to get an Apple ID

The easiest way to get an Apple ID is to create one the first time you start a new Apple device. After turning on your new iPhone or iPad, you will be asked to select your country, connect to a Wi-Fi network, set up fingerprint or face access, etc. At one stage of setting up your new Apple device, you will be asked to sign in using your Apple ID. Here you need to click on the “No Apple ID” link and go through the registration procedure.

If you skipped this step or want to get a different Apple ID, you can register it, for example, using iTunes on your computer. To do this, launch iTunes, open the “Account” menu and select the “Sign in” option.

Then click on the “Create a new Apple ID” button and go through the procedure of registering a new account.

To sign up for an Apple ID account, you'll need to enter your name, work email address (which will be used as your username), password, date of birth, recovery email address, and three security questions and their answers.

Using the iTunes Store

If the first two methods did not help, then you can try to go another way. Open the iTunes Store and look up. If you're lucky, your account ID will be located there. The method may not work, so don't rely too much on it.

Conclusion: if suddenly you cannot remember the ID, then if you have certain data, it is not difficult to find out. But to avoid such embarrassment, it is better to remember or write down the data, since it has a certain meaning. We hope that the tips described in the article helped you successfully complete the restore operation.
