Apple ID — Essential Links

Sign-in and security settings for iCloud, App Store and Apple Developer.

Apple ID security

Enable two-factor authentication under Sign-In and Security at appleid.apple.com. Trusted phone numbers receive verification codes; sign out on old devices before changing your ID.

Recovery & lockout

Reset passwords at iforgot.apple.com. Lost Mode on Find My devices may require Apple Support to unlock. Developer accounts use the same Apple ID credentials.

Developer portals

Apple Developer manages certs, profiles and App IDs; App Store Connect handles builds, TestFlight and metadata. Expired membership invalidates certs — set renewal reminders.

Tip: Bookmark this page. Always verify the URL is official before entering credentials. Use a dedicated backup email with 2FA enabled.
