iPhone prompting to set up Account Recovery following ios17 upgrade

Since upgrading to ios17 my phone is prompting me to set up Account Recovery, even though it is already set up and both my Mac and iPad seem perfectly happy that everything is in order.


Have tried restarting the phone but it has not cleared the issue.

Hey there Shady_Creek,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


To get started, since Account Recovery has already by set up, if you go through through the options in the prompt to set it up again, does that remove the prompt? If so, have you also had a chance to update to iOS 17.0.2 that was just released recently?


If not, since updating can often help with resolving some unexpected issues, give that a try and see if the prompt remains: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you are already up-to-date, or if the issue persists after updating, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support at this next link here: Get Support - Apple


We hope that's able to help.


Take care.
