How to avoid account recovery of Apple ID with a Recovery Contact

Have you ever been locked out of your Apple account, staring at the screen in frustration because, despite entering your Apple ID and password, you can’t sign in? You’re not alone. At Thriftech, we understand the importance of quick access to your devices, especially when you’re on the go. That’s why we’re here to share a vital tip that can save you from the headache of account recovery: adding a recovery contact.

Why You Need a Recovery Contact

Two-factor authentication is an excellent security feature provided by Apple, but it can sometimes backfire if you lose access to your trusted devices or phone number. This is where a recovery contact comes into play. By adding a trusted individual as your recovery contact, you ensure that you can always receive your two-factor authentication code, even when your usual methods aren’t available.

Setting Up Your Recovery Contact

Setting up a recovery contact is simple. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Go to your Apple ID account page and log in.

  2. Navigate to the ‘Security’ section.

  3. Click on ‘Add Recovery Contact’ and follow the prompts to choose a trusted person.

  4. Your chosen contact will receive a notification to accept the role.

Remember, your recovery contact won’t have access to your account; they’ll simply receive a code to help you regain access if needed.
