“How to Recover or Access iCloud Without a Recovery Key?”

What should I do if I lose my 28-character recovery key? I’m unable to log in to iCloud because I don’t remember the recovery key. Could anyone guide me on how to retrieve the recovery key? If that’s not possible, please let me know if there’s a way to log in without a new recovery key. I sincerely appreciate your help.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 18

If you are logged into your account on another trusted device you may be able to generate a new key. Otherwise, you’ll need to find your current key or be forever locked out of your account.
