To set up a recovery contact, click Manage, then click the Add button . Click Add Recovery Contact, then follow the onscreen instructions.

See the Apple Support article Manage and use your Apple ID.
Apps Using Your Apple ID	Review the number of apps and websites that you’ve signed in to using Sign in with Apple. The options provide information about your accounts and the ability to turn off features or stop using Sign in with Apple. This option only appears after you’ve used Sign in with Apple to set up an account on an app or website. See Use Sign in with Apple.

If you no longer use the email address that's associated with your Apple ID, you can change it. You won’t lose access to your contacts, purchases, or other account information.

How to change your Apple ID to a different email address

If you can't change your Apple ID

If you try to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com email address that was created within the last 30 days, you will be asked to try again later.

If you see a message that the email address you want to use isn't available or is already in use, check that you or a family member aren't already using that email address with a different Apple ID. If a family member is using that email address, remove it from their account then try to use it.

In some countries or regions, you can use your phone number as your Apple ID. But if your Apple ID is an email address, you can't change it to a phone number.
