Hello!
I'd love to help, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Can a user create their own 28 digit recovery code?" Please give me more insight to you question, and I may be able to help you further.
If I had to take a guess, I'm assuming you're talking about the Advanced Data Protection feature with iCloud+.
Let me know what else I can do for you!

Thank you Chance08. Yes - the advanced security with a unique recovery code. It is randomly given but I was wondering if I could create my own. One that would be easier for me to remember with my own algorithm. Also, do you recommend doing the iCloud advanced protection?
It depends on if you’re able to keep track of your code, but I do not use it. I’ve thought about using it, but don’t trust myself enough. As for what I know - you can’t create your own 28 digit code. Although - since I’ve never used it myself, I cannot confirm that this is not a feature.
