If you've lost access to your account email or made a typo when you signed up, you can update your email in Settings now.
To make more changes to your email after you've already verified it, you will need to provide a confirmation code from your verified email to confirm the change.
How many emails do you send to unverified ones that may be typos? More than zero is too many. Because I have a very short iCloud name and typos from all over the world happen regularly. And let me tell you: those unsolicited (by me) and sometimes persistent "Welcome!" emails are EXTREMELY annoying.
Confirmation codes never arrive. Not in my inbox, nor in the spam folder, etc Not using Windows, nor using macOS, iOS, Android, or whatever. Your "security" system sucks 🤬
Is there ANY other way to change your password than to log out and chose "forgot password" when you try to login again? I'm not getting a code in my mail no matter how many times and different ways I try, so logging out to reset my password effectively locked me out of my account in that browser.
I am being asked to confirm through my old email when I want to change it to a new email, but I have already lost access to my old email. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

That’s going to present a real problem in the future for some poor souls if there isn’t also another way to prove verification.
