  If you plan on selling or recycling your device, you want to make sure that someone can't get into your account once you get rid of it. So, you really do want to deauthorize everything before getting rid of your iPhone, iPad, or computer.

  Find devices where you might be logged in and check your Apple ID. On an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch, open Settings, then tap your name. Your Apple ID should be listed there. Have a Mac instead? Open System Preferences and click Apple ID to see your Apple ID. If you have a PC, open iCloud for Windows (if you have that installed) then look for your Apple ID under your name. Or you can check iTunes if you are signed into that on your PC. Check if you're signed in the App Store, FaceTime, or Messages on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. You can also go to iCloud.com or appleid.apple.com and see if your Apple ID prefills on the sign-in screen. Finally, check your emails from Apple to see if your Apple ID is included in them.
