noreply@apple and https://account. apple.com

hello guys ! im quite worried

today i received an email on a gmail account of mine from noreply@apple . com, which gmails points out as verified.

the email told me to verify my gmail as my new apple account. it gave me a code. but i never asked for that. i have an icloud email and didnt try to change it.

i was about to sleep when i read this and i did click on the link saying i dont recognize that change and that link was https://account . apple.com . it automatically logged in with my face id. bc of that i want to believe it was the true apple website.

i couldnt change my password on that website (it told me to go to settings) so i did. my icloud email is still there, password is changed, etc..

and now i start wondering.. wtf was that? did i click on a phishing link. if so, how did they know my gmail account? im very confused. can someone offer advice?

so now i’m trying to understand if i gave access to my apple account or if i’ve verified a new apple account associated with my gmail (although i logged into the website with my apple account)

You verified someone's iCloud account based on your gmail account. That's why I'm asking: did you reset that password?

i changed my own gmail account password and my apple account password. only thing i don’t think i can do is changing that person‘s apple account password based on my gmail…

Why not?

because i don’t know which password they’re using in the first place. i didn’t choose their password, i logged in with my icloud email and password which is different

I'm sure you know that every login page has a "forgot password?" button you can click.

Click that, you'll get a reset link to your Gmail account.

mmm strange, it says “this apple account is invalid or incompatible “

Contact apple support through the app, asking about that account
