Your Apple ID is the account you use to access Apple services like the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime and more.

When you create a new password, keep the following in mind:

  • Your new Apple ID password must contain at least eight characters, a number, an uppercase letter, and a lowercase letter. 
  • You can't use spaces, the same character three times in a row, your Apple ID, or a password you've used in the last year.
