Hey Vjv77,


It sounds like you're having trouble receiving a verification code to sign in. We can understand wanting to get that resolved. We want to help.


First, we'd recommend reviewing the information in this article for your options on getting a verification code: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication


If you're unable to receive a verification code with those options, you'll need to start the account recovery process to regain access to your Apple ID. This article explains how: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password


Thanks!
