Apple expects everyone to have a mobile phone but my Telecoms Provider took my mobile number off me because I never used it. Apple appears to insist on a mobile for password update. How do I access or update my Apple Password without a mobile?

Apple seems to insist on having and using a mobile phone to access your account or update your password. I had a mobile but never used it so my Telecoms Provider took my mobile number off me! I do not intend to get another just to satisfy Apple. Is there a way to change a password without two-factor identification using a mobile?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15
