How can I recover my apple ID account when I forget the registered phone number?

Hi, I don't remember phone number I previously registered for my apple ID's two-factor authentication. So I can't even recover my account since Apple requires to input the registered phone number. What possibly can I do?

If you can get a code and sign in, you need to change/add the number on your Apple ID. Look in the Security section when signed in online. You may have to add the new number before you can remove the old number. 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.
