Two factor authentication

I’m trying to access and old Apple ID I had from years ago to add it to my emails but when I log in it’s sending a two factor authentication code to my old phone number meaning I can’t access the account as I no longer have access to my old phone number

iPhone XR, iOS 12

What if I know the password but no longer have the number associated with my 2 factor authentication? I know my Apple ID and my password I just no longer have access to the phone number I used for two factor authentication. I put in my email address and it still wasn’t letting me sign in

I try to log into my Apple ID, but for the two-factor authentication, it is sending a verification code to a number I no longer use I'm trying to use a different apple ID on my phone. I know the email and password associated with this account, but when I log in, I'm asked to complete a two-step authentication. Since I haven't used this account in a while, it was associated with a phone number that I no longer use or remember
