Your Apple Account is the account you use to access Apple services like the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and more. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in as well as the contact, payment, and security details you use across Apple services.

Sign in to your Apple Account on the web or in your device settings - Apple Support

Eg: says:

On your iPhone:

  1. "Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Apple Account at the top
  3. Choose a method to sign in:
    • Use Another Apple Device: If you have another iPad or iPhone that’s signed in to your Apple Account, bring that device nearby and follow the instructions on both devices to complete the sign-in process.*
    • Sign in Manually: Enter your Apple Account email address or phone number and your password. If prompted, enter the six-digit verification code sent to your trusted device or phone number to complete the sign-in process.
