Requirements before you set up a account recovery contact:

• It is compulsory to run iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, or macOS Monterey or later.

• Two-factor authentication must be enabled on your device.

• You must be over the age of 13.

How to receive a recovery code from account recovery contact?

Steps：

2. Your contact will then give you a 6-digit code.

4. Reset your Apple ID password after your identity is confirmed.

How to set up a account recovery account?

I advise you to enable this function because it is super convenient and direct to reset your Apple ID password in case you forgot it again in the future.

Steps：

1. Launch Settings and open your account.

2. Go to ‘password and security’

3. Locate account recovery.

4. Select ‘add recovery account’ under the recovery assistance tab.

   

5. Enter your Touch ID or Face ID to authenticate.

6. Select a contact you trust. Family members will be automatically added, but any other contact needs to accept the request.

   

Note：Always make sure that the person you are setting as your account recovery contact is trustworthy such as a family member, your spouse, or close friends.

Method 4: Reset Apple ID Password via Recovery Key

If you choose Recovery Key to reset, you need to know and type your recovery key. It's a randomly generated 14-character code which Apple creates when you activate two-step verification on your account.

Steps:

1. Click appleid.apple.com, then click on 'Forgot Apple ID or password?'

2. Enter your Apple ID, Select 'Reset your password' option, then hit 'Continue.'

3. Now click on 'Did you forget your Apple ID?'

4. Type the 'Recovery Key for two-step verification.' And then you can reset the password once it's accepted.

Note:

When you use two-step verification, you need to:

• Remember your password

• Keep your trusted devices physically secure

• Keep your Recovery Key in a safe place

If you lose access to two of these three items at the same time, you would be locked out of your Apple ID forever.
