Can't receive authorization code, due to previous phone being lost.

A while ago I lost my iPhone 8plus. Before I lost it the service was off because I plan to go with another carrier. So when It was lost, I never got locate it. Eventually I bought a new phone and MacBook. I tried to put my iCloud information in but always sent 2 Way authorization code to my iPhone 8plus that was lost. I had to make a new iCloud because my phone and laptop wasn't allowing me to do things since I couldn't get the authorization that was linked to my previous phone. My previous iCloud had my student account on there which gave me certain discounts on there. Is there anyway to bypass the authorization.
