What are best practices for Securing Apple ID?

Best Practices for Securing Your Apple ID

1. Keep Your Apple ID Private: Do not share your Apple ID with anyone, including family members.
2. Use Family Sharing: To share purchases, subscriptions, calendars, and more without sharing Apple IDs, set up Family Sharing.
3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication: If your Apple ID was created on a device with macOS 10.15.4, or later, two-factor authentication is automatically enabled. If not, make sure to turn it on.
4. Protect Your Account Information: Never share your password, security questions, verification codes, recovery key, or any other security details. Apple will never ask for this information.
5. Verify Secure Connections: When accessing your Apple ID account page in Safari or another browser, look for the lock icon in the address bar to ensure the session is encrypted and secure.
6. Sign Out on Public Computers: Always sign out after using a public computer to prevent unauthorized access to your account.
7. Avoid Phishing Scams: Do not click on links in suspicious emails or text messages, and never provide personal information on websites you are not sure are legitimate.
8. Use Unique Passwords: Do not use your Apple ID password for other online accounts.
9. Activate Lost Mode: If one of your devices is lost or stolen, enable Lost Mode as soon as possible.
