I think I forgot the security question :(((
In fact, I write the answers correctly, but this does not work. The system says there is something wrong, but I do not think so
If I delete the account and log back in, can I set the security questions again?
My iPhone is (6)
with my love 💋
iPhone 6, iOS 12

👉Scroll to Reset your security questions
After you reset your security questions, you might want to set up two-factor authentication instead. It's the best way to keep your account secure, and you won't need to remember any security questions. You can set up two-factor authentication right from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9 or later or your Mac with OS X El Capitan or later.
If you answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you temporarily can't use your security questions. Try to reset your questions after the waiting period ends.

Hello,
Try the directions in the article If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support for resetting your security questions:
"Reset your security questions
1. Go to https://iforgot.apple.com/ .
2. Enter your Apple ID, then select Continue.

6. Choose new security questions and answers and select Continue."

If you get a message about not having 'sufficient information', you will not be able to reset your security questions this way.
This Apple Recommended post purports you can make an Account Recovery request in this situation and subsequently reset your security questions (of which I am somewhat skeptical and you may be required to set up two factor authentication instead): Reset security questions, required to fil… - Apple Community
The article: About your Apple ID email addresses - Apple Support is updated and it implies you can use a rescue email (if you set one up -- if you did not, it is too late to do that now) to reset your questions: "If you ever forget your security questions, you can use your rescue email address to reset them. We also send any account security-related notifications to your rescue email address." How you do this exactly is not clear and my research into this reveals it may depend upon your region. Here is one possible way (from: https://www.alphr.com/we-do-not-have-sufficient-information-to-reset-your-security-questions/ ) but I have not tested it beyond the first step since I do not want to experiment with my account. ;-).
1. Visit this page and enter your Apple ID --> https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
2. Enter your rescue email address and have a verification email sent there to reset your password.
3. Follow the link in the email to reset.
If you cannot get any of the above to help with resetting the security questions then realize that several years ago Apple transitioned to using to two factor authentication instead of security questions. Apple has since been persistently encouraging users to switch to the newer security system and your only recourse may now be to try to change to two factor authentication as outlined in this article --> Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support Follow the instructions in the section "Turn on two-factor authentication for your Apple ID"
If you can neither reset the questions, nor switch to two-factor authentication, you may well have lost any access to that account. In a Dec. 2022 post by Apple Community Specialist K_Faith in the thread I’ve tried resetting my security question… - Apple Community it says, "If you’ve forgotten your security questions, there isn’t a way for Apple to reset them for you, or another way to access your account. You would need to create a new Apple ID, which also means you won’t have access to previous purchases or data stored in iCloud."

I forgot my security question, what do I do?
