Apple ID How many Apple IDs do you have?

[TenthDoctor]

I would like to create a second one for two reasons:

1.). I purchased a computer for use at my church. I will be its main user, but I don’t want my personal account tied to it, as I think it would be better to keep the accounts separate. For one, anything Purchased for the church should be on a tax exempt ID.

2.). I found out last night that someone tried to change the password on my personal ID, so at least one hacker knows the email address I use for my own ID.

in order to protect both my own account and what I do for the church, the accounts need to be separate.

However, I also need to be able to use 2 factor authentication, since I know there are people out there who are actively trying to hack Apple ID accounts. Can I use my phone and other devices for 2 factor authentication for both IDs?

I have hopes that merging becomes allowed with the introduction of iCloud+.

I only have one. Not sure I want the complication of managing multiple accounts for different purposes, although the comments here from others suggest that there are some good reasons for doing so. I have enough complication in my life in keeping track of all of the different IDs and passwords for everything else, in addition to Apple!!

I have two. One for general use and one for sideloading with Sideloadly (I don’t like AltStore because it doesn’t work with Kodi).

I have one for personal use going back to the .mac days!
I have several additional ones for developer team/work purposes.
