iPhone has broken screen. Locked me out for too many failed attempts to open( since screen is broken) I have pass code but can’t work screen. Have backups on iCloud from expired of forgotten iCloud accounts. It is a trusted phone with new phone, and has alot of memories I’d like back. How do I get all data off old iPhone 8. What do I do?

To restore data from an iCloud backup, you generally need:
iCloud backups specifically can only be restored onto a device.
If you don’t have another trusted device for 2FA, you can still receive the verification code on your phone number as a text message or a call — even on a new device with the same SIM card or phone number. Once you get past 2FA, you can restore your backup during setup.

iCloud backup doesn’t include information that is synced and stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memos, shared photos, iCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.
*-If you had turned on iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.

If your screen is broken, you can get support from Apple to fix your screen.
Unfortunately, backups have to occur.....before.....accidents occur. So while you will need to get the screen repaired on the iPhone, the data present on the phone will be lost during the repair process unless you have a current backup of the iPhone 8 that was completed before the screen was damaged.
Sorry, no way around this.
