Typically an Apple ID is an email address, or a number, 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.

If you find you can’t sign in, you can request account recovery (read this support article: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple Account password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.
