Hi Jeef59,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We see you were linked from the article "Set up a recovery key for your Apple ID". As noted in the article, you would want to follow the steps in the section "Use a recovery key":
•To change your Apple ID password, you need a trusted device (with a passcode or password) or your recovery key.
•If you don't have access to a trusted device or you're locked out of your Apple ID, you need to provide your recovery key to reset your password and regain access to your account.
•When you change additional information about your Apple ID (for example, if you add a trusted phone number), you might be asked for your recovery key.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
