I tried to change my apple ID on the account web page.
It did not allow the change.
do i need to sign out of all devices first?
If I do, will a have an issue with 2 factor security?

Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -

And after you change it -
Thank you.
I see at the page at the link provided,
It states that if the iCloud account was created within the last 30 days it may ask to try later.
I think that is my issue.
In what manner do you need to change your Apple ID?

Based on what I have read, I suggest you leave your Apple ID email address as a 3rd party email address because you have more flexibility if you need to change the email address. For example, if the Apple ID got compromised, you can change it to another address. I also have read of many people who were locked out of their accounts when they forgot their password. Since the recovery email address is the @iCloud email address, if you forget your password, you also can't access your email to get emails from Apple to recover your account. You can set a rescue email address, but for some people, this hasn't worked.
I want to change the email address used as my apple ID from ...@comcast... to my iCloud email address.
Am i only able to do this for my main contact?
