Forgot my iCloud pw and security key

I was recently hospitalized for 3 months. During this time I Forgot my old iCloud password and security key I don’t even remember making a “security key”. This is causing me to be locked out from my MacBook and iPhone 12. Does any one have an idea on how I can possibly get passed this?

If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support describes what to do.

It's not something you make; it's something you buy: About Security Keys for Apple ID - Apple Support. Since you don't have one it's irrelevant.
