Trusted phone number

Why doesn’t my phone just automatically update my trusted phone number? Why and how am I suppose to use the sent verification code on a phone number I no longer have? I mean great security, but from its own user.

iPhone 11, iOS 13

See if anything here helps.  If necessary, you can use account recovery as explained in the link at bottom of the article.


Verification code - how to get one and sign in with two-factor authentication.   


You need to change/add the number on your Apple ID. After the change, allow up to 24 hours for the change to sync. Before trying to make the change, sign out of Messages/FaceTime on all devices/computers.
