I've temporarily lost my iCloud 4-digit security code

I've temporarily lost my iCloud because I don't remember/can't find my 4-digit security code from 2018 (?). Have taken the steps to enter iCloud "Apple ID", but keep getting box for 4-digit code which can't remember. On a 10.14.6 Mac running Mojave. Help!

( a ) Open system preferences > iCloud > the box for keychain is checked , click on options , click on change security code .

( b ) Click on security code > enter new code in the fields and click on next , you have to enter the new code for the second time and click on next .

In the next window the country code is written , enter your trusted mobile number …….and click on done .

Again enter your Apple ID password to update your account settings and click on ok , hence the code is changed , so write down this code in a safe place .
