iCloud account

So I no longer have my iPhone due to personal reasons and I Had two factor authentication on so anytime I try to log into my iCloud account on a browser, it brings the place to put a code in and I asked a friend to put her phone number In to send a code to and it gave a like five days countdown and I checked today and it said that there was no way to recover it. I’m just wondering how I can get around that and when I get a new phone if it will let me log into my iCloud on the new phone

iPhone 6s Plus

If you get a new phone and want to be able to sign into your existing iCloud account, then you will need to use the same Apple ID as before. And, you'd likely end up where you are now. See if these document on two-factor authentication help you.
