Need to verify iCloud account but don’t have iPhone to get verification code

Lost my iPhone but need to access my iCloud account. Verification code is being sent to my iPhone which I don’t have. Now I’m unable to access my iCloud acct.


Is there another way to verify acct without having to wait days to regain access to my iCloud ?

Then you will need account recovery -- Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support.


"If I can't sign in, how do I regain access to my account?

If you can’t sign in, access a trusted device, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account."

does your new phone not have the same phone # as your old phone?


if so, redirect your code request to an SMS or robo call.

Otherwise, you need account recovery which takes some time.
