Your Apple ID is the all-important knot that keeps a check on all your devices in the Apple ecosystem. It seamlessly syncs across your account settings and set a data backup to iCloud, and also acts as an authentication tool. That's why you need to periodically review and remove devices that you no longer use from your Apple ID. That helps prevent issues with security with units running older software-firmware versions that may contain vulnerabilities.

You can remove devices from your Apple ID in four different ways. The first method involves using an iPhone or iPad. Alternatively, you can use a Mac. But if you don’t have access to another personal iOS or macOS device, you can instead use the Apple ID management portal or the iCloud.com web app for the task at hand. But before you get started, here are a few things that you should keep in mind.
What to Keep in Mind Before Removing a Device From Apple ID
If you want to simply remove an old device that you don’t use anymore, then the whole process is quite straightforward. Delete it from your list of devices related to your Apple ID using the instructions that follow, and you are done. The device will no longer receive any two-factor authentication codes, which improves security if it winds up in the wrong hands later on.
But in instances where you want to remove a device that you do not recognize, you must immediately change the password for your Apple ID soon after. While it’s likely that you signed into the device a while back and forgot all about it, it’s still wise to set up a new password as a precaution. Also, consider adding two-factor authentication if you haven’t done so already.
Tip: On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Apple ID > Password & Security to access your password and two-factor authentication settings.That said, it's wise not to remove devices that you still use yourself. That prevents the device from using iCloud services, which puts your data at risk since it won't sync or take backups anymore. Remove the device only if you plan to stop using it altogether, or if you want to set it up with another Apple ID.
When it comes to selling a device, there are a few complications. For starters, removing the device from your Apple ID will not completely sign you out of it. You must sign out manually by inserting your password — otherwise, the device will be subject to Activation Lock, which prevents the buyer from using it. Also, it’s best to take due precautions by wiping the device of all data before selling it.
That brings us to our next problem — if you sell your device to someone else without signing out of it first, then removing it from your Apple ID won't be enough. You must also sign out of that device so that the person can sign in with his or her Apple ID. If physically accessing the device isn't possible, you must instead wipe it remotely using Find My iPhone before removing it.
