    What is the exact wording of the message?

    To veryify you go to the mail account (Yahoo) you selected and in the inbox there should be an email from Apple. Open it and go to the link provided in the email

     

    Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?

    When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.

    How do I verify my Apple ID by email?

    Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
