Hello AutoMedic_Kyng,


If you no longer have access to your trusted phone number, you may be able to get a verification code using Settings on a trusted device instead. This resource has more details on that process: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support


Should you need further assistance with your Apple ID, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Apple Support They'll be in the best position to help further with account related concerns.


Take care.

I actually have my iPad and it’ll give me a verification code but Apple is saying cause the account is locked it won’t work unless the code comes from a text or email. I’d use my email but when they changed up settings in my phone that got stolen I no longer have access to my Gmail and the recovery for that is the number or the iCloud I’m at a complete loss
