My friend Sarah used the same Apple ID from when she was fifteen. It was something like “[email protected].” She changed jobs, moved cities, and kept that email. One day, she tried to sign into her new work iPad, and the two-factor code went to her mom’s old computer. She was stuck for three hours. After a few deep breaths and a call to Apple Support, she finally changed every detail. Now she uses her normal email, and her life is 10% less stressful.
Don’t be Sarah. Be the person who spends ten minutes now to save hours later. It’s a tiny bit of admin that pays off in big, quiet ways.
