Do you still have access to one of your trusted devices? You can then generate a new recovery key

  1. Go to your Apple ID account page.
  2. Sign in with your password and trusted device.
  3. In the Security section, click Edit > Replace Lost Key.


If you don't have access to one of your trusted devices or to your apple id, you cannot sign in and you will need to enroll in account recovery
