recovery

Hi was there a time when you could use an alternate email to recover your account at one time. I just removed an email that I had on my account which is one I don't use much and now it's asking me to make a recovery method?

Windows, Windows 6

There's reference to it here About your Apple ID email addresses - Apple Support


"If you had a rescue email address on file when you upgraded to two-factor authentication or two-step verification, that email becomes your notification email. You can also use these steps to edit your notification email address. If you remove the notification email, you won't be able to add a new one."
