I verify the fake email

I received an email from Apple ID support said my apple id has been locked and I have to verify within 48 hours.

I clicked on verify button but nothing happened.

Anyway, I'm still worried about the security of my account. What can I do to keep my account safe?

Hi there nps_bun,


When you clicked on the link in the email, did you enter any of your information or provide any account details? If so, you'll want to secure your Apple ID with the guidance in this support article: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support


Also, the email you received was definitely a phishing attempt. Apple will never send an email threatening your account access if you don't provide information within a certain time frame. Have a look at this link to learn more about how to recognize phishing emails and report them: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Take care.
