    Hi Altadv, 

     

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that you would like to edit your Apple ID Rescue email address. To complete this task, please work through the steps in the following article. 

     

    Follow these steps to add or edit a rescue email address:

    1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
    2. Click Edit in the Security section. You might be asked to answer one or more security questions before you continue.
    3. If you want to add a rescue email address: 
         
      • Under Rescue Email, click Add an Email Address, then enter your rescue email address. We'll send a verification to that address. Didn't get the email?
      •  
      • Enter the verification code and click Verify.
    4. If you want to edit a rescue email address: 
         
      • Select Change Email Address under the address you want to edit, then enter the new address. We'll send a verification to that address. Didn't get the email?
      •  
      • Enter the verification code and click Verify.
    5. If you want to delete a rescue email address, click   next to the address.

    If you use two-step verification or two-factor authentication, you have a notification email address, not a rescue email address. With two-factor authentication and two step verification, you don't need a rescue address. You can also use these steps to add or edit your notification email address.
