Do you mean your rescue mail address?


See this instructions on how to change that


Apple uses this to send you important account- and security-related information. Most people have a notification email address instead of a rescue email address. But if you don't use two-factor authentication or two-step verification (find out how to check which security method you're using), you have the option to add a rescue email address to your account for more security. You can see this option when you sign in to appleid.apple.com.

Before you can use a new or updated Apple ID, we'll send you a verification email to make sure the email address belongs to you.
