Hi all,
I'm wondering why my phone suggested a random email when I was typing it into my browser. For context, I was signing up to subscribe online at this website. When I typed the first letter of my email, my phone suggested a completely random email I've never seen or interacted with instead of suggesting my own email. I'm worried that my account has been hacked somehow. Any suggestions are appreciated.
iPhone XS Max, iOS 14
Hi there randomemail,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you were filling out a form online and your auto-fill displayed an email you did not recognize. This may happen if someone else used one of your Apple devices and used that email. It may also happen if that email is showing in your contact card.
You can also check if you have already signed up for a subscription there before using the “sign in with Apple” option. You can hide your email using that option, which will create a dummy email for that service. Learn more about that here: What is Sign in with Apple?
If you still feel like your Apple ID may be compromised, see what to do here: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised.
We hope this helps!
