Icloud email - Icloud ask for an alternate email address. Should I create another icloud email or use another service (such as gmail, hotmail or..) ?

These companies keep changing their @ names.(FYI- my comapny name is easily misspelled so I am not comfortable getting a domain name as of yet.)

Thank you in advance 🙂

It's important that you use an address with another service - GMail or Yahoo would be fine - because if, for example, you forget your password and have to reset it, the new password will be sent to this address - which if it was part of your iCloud account you wouldn't be able to access.
