Q: 2 step verification - what if I trade my cell phone ?? At end of registration it was clear I would my code PLUS the cell phone to get a password reset.  What if I change carriers and trade my old phone in ?

At end of registration it was clear I would my code PLUS the cell phone to get a password reset. Something was said about without those two things Apple could NOT reset my account if I forgot my password.   What if I change carriers and trade my old phone in ?  Am I stuck then ??   That part was confusing.

 

I started out doing the registration because I wanted to make sure my laptop computer was "registered" - I guess it already was because no opportunity came up for that.  But now I'm wondering whether I should have done the two step verification using my cell -- thought I was getting extra security, but now afraid I could be locked out at some point?
