unknown email addresses

When transferring data to a new iphone or apple device I'm prompted to enter passwords for unknown email addresses. I have the ability to "skip" but how do I stop this from happening each time I get a new apple device? There are at least 8 unknown email addresses that I have to skip through each time.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Hi jmg20,


The following support article will help you remove email accounts from your iPhone: Add and remove email accounts on iPhone - Apple Support


However, if you don't recognize these accounts, you should also look into securing your Apple ID: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support


Hope this helps!
