Recovery key failure

I needed to reset my phone due to bugs, before hand I setup a recovery key. Moments later after the reset my recovery key is not valid. Sounds like a glitch in the system as from what I’ve read today I’m not the only one with these issues. Apple support told me to get a new Apple ID. Garbage.

Be sure you’re correctly entering the key. If it is incorrect or lost you will be unable to restore access to your account. Creating a recovery key puts the onus on you and you alone.
