If you create one you write it down and keep it VERY safe. If you forget your Apple ID password you can use the key to recover the password or account.

IF YOU LOSE THE KEY the account is DEAD and so are all your Apple devices. Nobody can help.

If you still want to create one then bear that in mind.
