Apple ID and icloud mail/account

So I have an apple ID that is dated from before iCloud existed. And I have my iCloud account for mail and backup/storage.


Now it's still my biggest irritation, that you have to fill in two passwords every time you have a new device or had to change the password. Also you need to remember what you use for what.


Is there any option to merge these?


I found the option to not use the iCloud account but this is not an option because this is my primary mail account. And all my purchases are in my apple ID account.

So you need to fill two passwords?

do you meant device account password + iCloud account password?

I think you need only fill passwords once if it is new device and then you only need device/account/profile password.

I recommended password manager, if you don't remember passwords.
