See the following instructions from About your Apple ID email addresses - Apple Support
Follow these steps to add or edit a rescue email address:
- Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
- Click Edit in the Security section. You might be asked to answer one or more security questions before you continue.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
