Apple ID

Hello

Yes, of course! That is the only way you can set up an Apple ID, is with an email address. This email address is your Apple ID and the username that you use to sign in to Apple services like Apple Music and iCloud. It's also the contact email address for your account. Here’s an article from Apple for help: How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support

Hope this helps.

You have an Apple ID. You used it to sign into the Support Community. Having more than one Apple ID can be confusing.

If you create/use a new Apple ID, you will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID.
