Cosa fare se hai dimenticato l’ID Apple
Non ricordi più l’ID Apple o la password? Niente paura, ci sono diversi modi per recuperarli entrambi. Te li spieghiamo subito.
Per prima cosa devi collegarti alla pagina dedicata che Apple mette a disposizione degli utenti e cliccare su Hai dimenticato l’ID Apple o la password?. Then you will see another page open where, if you have forgotten your Apple ID, you will find the link to recover it. Click on it and enter your first name, last name and email. This will email you your Apple ID.
To recover your password, however, you have to type your email and you will be asked if you want to reset your Apple ID password or security questions. Select Password and continue. At this point, you will be asked in which of the three possible ways you want to recover your Apple ID password.
Recove Apple ID via security questions
To recover your Apple ID password via security questions, the first thing you will be asked is to enter your date of birth. Then, the system will ask you the security questions that you chose when creating your Apple ID.
Do you remember the correct answers? Well, then the system will take you to the page where you can set a new password and you can access all Apple products again. Can't remember the answers to the security questions? Don't despair, you have the possibility to recover your password in another way.
Recove Apple ID via email
Did you decide to recover your password via email authentication? You will receive an email with directions to follow. Once you open the email, click on the link found in the message and follow the instructions to get a new password for your Apple ID.
If you have forgotten what email you set up for your Apple ID, go to the page to recover your Apple ID and enter your first name, last name and email, as if you had lost your Apple ID as well. If the email you enter is the one in use for your Apple ID, the system will recognize it, and send you an email with your ID. If the email is not the correct one, then you will see the message: Cannot find an Apple ID that matches the information you provided. Arm yourself with patience and keep trying until you find the right email.
Recove Apple ID via two-step verification
This system was invented by Apple to prevent others who know your password from accessing your information. To use this solution to recover your Apple ID password, you need to have set up two-step verification previously, and received and kept the 14-character recovery code. If you have done all this, all you have to do is to connect to the dedicated page, enter the correct code and choose the device on which you want to receive the verification code. Once you've received it, enter it and set the new password.
So recovering the password for the Apple ID is that complicated? Remember that whichever method you choose, you won't be able to get your old password back, but you'll have to choose a new one. Keep in mind also that the path to recovering your Apple ID password can be done from any device without any problem.
Now that you know how to create a new Apple ID for you, and possibly for your children, and how to recover it you can go ahead and create it, if you haven't already. Thus, you will be able to take advantage of all the services that Apple provides you, such as those of iCloud, iTunes and the App Store. In addition, you can associate your Apple ID with a credit card for your purchases and access the service Find My Apple, very useful to lock, locate and reset your Apple devices.
