I have multiple email addresses added to my Apple ID account. But I would like to change the “primary” email address presented onscreen when signing in with my Apple ID to third-party services and websites by choosing another email address from these. How can I do that?

This is a follow up: what I have noticed is that if you change the email address which you want to use in conjunction with “Hide my email”, then this becomes the default email address presented on screen when you want to create a new account for a third-party website or app that you want to use with “Sign in with Apple ID”. Moreover, you can easily switch between your email addresses right from that sign-in screen accordingly. Problem solved. 🙂

"Hide My Email is a service that's included with your iCloud+ subscription. With Hide My Email, you can generate unique, random email addresses that automatically forward to your personal inbox, so you can keep your email address private." "You can create as many email addresses as you need."

"When you see a Sign in with Apple button on a participating app or website, it means you can set up an account using your Apple ID. No need to use a social media account, fill out forms, or choose another new password."

Thanks. It seems "Hide my email" will do the job. This is a good workaround. However, I thought that maybe I could temporarily change my Apple ID email address with another one of my email addresses (without hiding it) in the last step before final confirmation, while creating a new account on a third-party website or in an app. Anyway thank you for the links.

FYI: If you change it then you will likely find you can no longer use that old email address for your account again.
I see you found an acceptable solution; good. :-)
