Is it possible to access an old apple account?

Hello All,

So I have had a past of switching from apple to android and back again. I remember having an iPod back in college and using iTunes. I remember also using that account on my first iPhone. During one of the switches, I couldn’t remember the password and just started a new apple account in the Verizon store.

Is there anyway to locate and sign in to the old account. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the account email exactly. I have tried looking into older emails and older devices I have, but no luck. Is there anyway to recover any information from a previous account?

Thanks

Typically an Apple ID is an email address you have used. If you are currently using a mobile device that is logged into your account, go to Settings and tap your name at the top.

Look in Keychain, and in a browser's security settings if you use it to automatically sign into Apple when using a browser.

This support article describes ways to find your Apple ID --> If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support

or go directly to this link --> https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid

If you still need help:

Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security "This article provides country-specific Apple Support contact information for customers seeking help with their Apple ID password or other security-related issues."

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

There is no search facility for discovering the email address, such as entering your name and Apple tells you the email address. That would be a pretty serious breach of privacy.
