Hello. Please help me recover my Apple ID. I know both the name of the Apple ID and the password for it, but I don't know the recovery key and because of this I can't get into my account, my phone has been updated, so there's nothing there and I can't and I don't know what to do

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

From: How to generate a recovery key - Apple Support


- When you generate a recovery key, you can't use account recovery.

- "Using a recovery key is more secure, but it means that you’re responsible for maintaining access to your trusted devices and your recovery key. If you lose both of these items, you could be locked out of your account permanently."

- See the document for how to generate a key. Apple mobile devices and Macs only.
