Apple ID security checklist

  • Use a strong Apple ID password.
  • Keep two-factor authentication turned on.
  • Check trusted devices and remove old/unknown devices.
  • Keep recovery phone and email details up to date.
  • Never share Apple verification codes or approve unexpected sign-in prompts.

If you are worried

Change your Apple ID password, review trusted devices, check payment settings and make sure Find My is still active.
