About Apple Account security questions
Two-factor authentication is the most secure way to protect your Apple Account. If you haven’t set up two-factor authentication for your account, Apple might use security questions to provide you with a secondary method to identify yourself online. Security questions are designed to be memorable for you but hard for anyone else to guess. When used in conjunction with other identifying information, they help verify that you’re the person requesting access to your account.
You might be asked to answer one or more of your security questions before you can change your password or other account information, view your device details or make a purchase in the App Store or other Apple media services on a new device.
If you don’t want security questions or you’re concerned about forgetting the answers, you can set up two-factor authentication. Find out about two-factor authentication.
