Change notification email address in Apple Account

I can log into my Apple account but when I check my information, I noticed the not notification email is missing a couple of numbers. It doesn’t go anywhere. It’s a wrong email. How do I get in there and fix that

Add or change a rescue [for most people called a notification address] email address


1. Sign in to https://account.apple.com .

2. Select Sign-In and Security.

3. Select Rescue Email. You might be asked to answer one or more security questions or enter your Apple ID password before you continue.

4. To add a rescue email address, select Add email. Then enter your rescue email address, then select Save changes. We send a verification to that address.

5. To change a rescue email address, enter the new address. We send a verification to that address.

6. Enter the verification code and click Continue.


If at any stage you don't get an expected verification see: If you didn’t receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support


If you had a rescue email address on file when you upgraded to two-factor authentication or two-step verification, that email becomes your notification email. You can also use these steps to edit your notification email address. If you remove the notification email, you won't be able to add a new one.
