I just want to use my desktop computer to look at my Icloud email because my phone is a crappy IPhone 6 and it's ancient but makes calls and texts and receives my Icloud emails.

I have a password that was created when I set up this Icloud email years ago. What good is it if I have to have some other ID anyway?
