Need to verify my iCloud account

Hey! I created an iCloud account a while ago and now when I’m trying to log in to that iCloud account I have to verify it. I was young when I created that account so the safety questions that requires my birthday is completely wrong. I guessed so many times but I have no idea which birthday and year I choose back then. When I try the other option that says that I will get and email instead it shows up an email that starts with an “i” which I don’t have any email that starts with an “i”. Is there any chance to get back that iCloud account?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13

Hello 1Atena,


Being able to regain access to your Apple ID is important and you've come to a great place for help. To confirm, are you attempting to sign in and being asked to enter your Apple ID security questions and birthday? If so, do you already have your Apple ID signed in on a device? If so, you may be able to enroll in to two-factor authentication and sign in to the Apple ID. Once signed in, you'll have the opportunity to update your birthday and Apple ID information via the Apple ID website. You can learn more about two-factor authentication via the steps below and in the following article.


"Turn on two-factor authentication on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch"

  1. "Go to Settings > [your name] > Password & Security. 
  2. Tap Turn On Two-Factor Authentication.
  3. Tap Continue.
  4. Enter the phone number where you want to receive verification codes when you sign in. You can choose to receive the codes by text message or automated phone call.
  5. Tap Next.
  6. Enter the verification code to verify your phone number and turn on two-factor authentication."


You might be asked to answer your Apple ID security questions.
