Hi


We see you're coming from the How to add a Legacy Contact for your Apple ID resource. The key should be stored in your Legacy Contact's Apple ID settings. You can read about this here:


If your Legacy Contact is using a device with iOS 15.2, iPadOS 15.2, or macOS Monterey 12.1 or later, you can notify them via Messages when you add them, and if they accept, they automatically store a copy of the access key in their Apple ID settings. You’ll receive a notification if they decline your Legacy Contact request, and you can choose someone else.


If you're having difficulty using the feature you can reach out for support directly here: Get Support


Take care.
