I forgot my iCloud password and I cannot recover it because I don't have my device

I forgot my iCloud password. I cannot recover it because I don't have my device and I don't have my credit card information on file. every time I try password recovery, it makes me wait 7 days and then send the code to my old number. I am so sick of this. Apple support is not able to help because it is all automated. This really *****!!!

If you remember the old iPhone number and Apple ID address visit cellular service centre that you are using , tell your first and last name , the mobile number say 1234 ....and the personal identifications proofs to them that you are the right person who have used the number and issue a sim on behalf of that mobile number .

Use another mobile say iPhone insert the sim in it https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201337

And set up the iPhone https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT202033

the code will come to this new mobile and sign in with 2FA see these https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204974

But you have also forgotten the the password for 2FA , use a web browser and sign with only Apple ID in the field .




Click on show in the top right corner , the system preferences opens automatically .


Account recovery is done in very rare scenarios , https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204921

Note : you can also click on using your device is the easiest way ......just below the show notification as you have inserted the sim in another iPhone , click on need more detailed instructions ? for getting information .
