What if I can't access a trusted device or didn't receive a verification code?


If you're signing in and don’t have a trusted device handy that can display verification codes, you can have a code sent to your trusted phone number via text message or an automated phone call instead. Click Didn't Get a Code on the sign in screen and choose to send a code to your trusted phone number. You can also get a code directly from Settings on a trusted device. Learn how to get a verification code.


If you use iOS 11.3 or later on your iPhone, you might not need to enter a verification code. In some cases, your trusted phone number can be automatically verified in the background on your iPhone. It’s one less thing to do, and your account is still protected with two-factor authentication.


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. Account recovery is an automatic process designed to get you back in to your account as quickly as possible while denying access to anyone who might be pretending to be you. It might take a few days—or longer—depending on what specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.


If you generated a recovery key, you can use your recovery key to regain access to your account instead. Learn more about using a recovery key

Just to be sure I understand. Are you saying that you have been syncing your iPhone's photos to iCloud, and now that your iPhone has been stolen, you are no longer able to access your old Apple ID that was used by that phone?


If so, you will need to contact Apple Support directly for assistance with this matter. To do so, simply select the "Get Support" link in the upper right-hand side of this forum's web page to get started.

I am under a new person account

Wow, the discussion above suggests using other people’s devices. And this quote means you changed your identity. So naturally, all this will lead to extreme difficulty, if not impossibility, in determining what are “your” possessions (documents, etc).


An Apple ID should be used by exactly one person. An Apple ID can indeed be modified (such as when using a different email account), but one should never be “under a new person”.


Good luck.
