Q: Email from appleid@id.apple.com
I recently changed my apple id password and a bit after that i got an email from appleid@id.apple.com confirming that I made a change to my account at the time that I did. I'm asking if this is legitimate because I'm not familiar with this particular email address. The email also says if i did not make these changes myself to change my apple id password and provides a link to appleid.apple.com which takes me to the apple id page i always go to to access it. My email account says this sender is on my safe list and has the green shield symbol next to it so I am wondering if anyone else has gotten legit emails from this address. It does not ask for any verification or personal information. Thanks!

Yes, that is legitimate. You will always get confirming emails from Apple for changes related to your Apple ID and/or iCloud account. However, Apple will never ask you to reply to the email. Emails like that are usually always a scam.
