Hey everyone I’ve been locked out of my Apple ID. Forgot the password. It keeps trying to have me verify/ recover through a phone number that I no longer have. How can I get access back to my Apple ID with out that phone number.. can I verify a different way?
See Account Recovery—Two-Factor Authentication
“If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. “After you request account recovery, you'll get an email with a confirmation of your request and the date and time of when you can expect to regain access.” … When the wait period is over, Apple sends you a text or automated phone call with instructions to regain access to your account. Follow the instructions to immediately regain access to your Apple ID.”
