To complete your Apple ID setup, enter the new email address you want to use for your Apple ID in the designated email field and then follow the on-screen prompts.
Essentially, completing your Apple ID involves finishing the account setup process after you've started creating it. This usually entails the following steps:
-
Verifying your Email Address: Apple sends a verification email to the address you provided. You need to click the link in that email to confirm that you own the email address.
-
Setting up Security Questions (or using Two-Factor Authentication): You'll be prompted to set up security questions to verify your identity if you forget your password or need to recover your account. Alternatively, and preferably, you'll set up Two-Factor Authentication, which sends a code to a trusted device (like your iPhone) whenever you sign in on a new device.
-
Providing Additional Information: You may be asked to provide your date of birth and other personal details. This helps Apple verify your identity.
-
Agreeing to Terms and Conditions: You'll need to read and agree to Apple's terms and conditions to finalize the creation of your Apple ID.
After completing these steps, your Apple ID will be fully functional, and you can use it to access Apple services like the App Store, iCloud, and Apple Music.
