Apple IDs have become a central point of the Apple ecosystem. They help verify your identity, your ownership, manage your purchases, wallets, devices, family sharing, and much more. That’s why it’s imperative that you always have access to your Apple ID. But that may not always be the case. There may be times when you lose your phone, your contact information, or need to change the credit cards associated with your Apple ID. And if you accidentally forget your password during these times, your Apple ID is as good as lost. Sure, you can file a complaint with Apple and have your account reinstated, but that process can take quite some time.
How do I add a recovery contact on iPhone?

Here's how to set up a recovery contact for your Apple ID.
On your iOS 15 device, open the Settings app and tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen.
Now tap on 'Password & Security'.
