Look for the red dot in settings (I believe it says Apple ID suggestions)

You may have some items on the list but we're concerned with the update Apple ID section

You'll likely be prompted to enter your Apple ID password, your device passcode, and potentially and passwords you use to unlock other devices (eg a Mac).
