Hello nickolas134,

You can use an account recovery key to regain access to your account. First you need to generate the key. Here's how to do so on iPhone:

1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Password & Security. You might need to enter your Apple ID password.

2. Tap Recovery Key.

3. Slide to turn on Recovery Key.

4. Tap Use Recovery Key and enter your device passcode.

5. Write down your recovery key and keep it in a safe place.

6. Confirm your recovery key by entering it on the next screen.

If in the future if you forget your Apple ID password, you will have the option to use this key to reset your Apple ID password. You can see more about this here: If you forgot your Apple ID password

Best Regards.
