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.


Icloud generally uses:

✽ your Apple Account username

(usually an e-mail address ... in a few countries it may be a phone number)

and

✽ your Apple account password.


You can manage your Apple Account by signing in on the Apple Account website.

https://account.apple.com/


You can view and use your iCloud data by signing in to your Apple Account on iCloud.com. https://www.icloud.com/


You can also sign in on iCloud for Windows, the Apple Music app and the Apple TV app.
