Forgot my recovery key
I saved my recovery key or so I thought I did, but I only have 12 of the 28 numbers. Where can I find this again?
iPhone 12, iOS 17

Set up a recovery key for your Apple ID - Apple Support
If you lost your Recovery Key
As long as you remember your Apple ID password and still have access to one of your trusted devices, you can sign in and create a new Recovery Key.
- Go to your Apple ID account page.
- Sign in with your password and trusted device.
- In the Security section, click Edit > Replace Lost Key.
Keep your new Recovery Key in a safe place. Your old Recovery Key won't work anymore and you can't use it to reset your password or access your account.
