The screen of my iPhone is broken and blacked out and I need to do a backup

Hi, so recently the screen of my phone cracked and is all blacked out (see image below), and i want to make a backup with my Mac for when I eventually buy a new phone.

The thing is, Finder doesn't let me backup, it says that i need to introduce the code on my iPhone, but as you can see, that's impossible right now.

I did not have iCloud backups turned on, so i don't think that's an option either, so don't know what to do, is there any way to make a backup with Finder without introducing my code? or something else I can do?

Thanks in advance!

iPhone 8, iOS 16

Unfortunately, no.

The time to backup is before the phone suffers damage.
