the confirmation code is not being sent to my phone when I try to log in into my MacBook Air. Previously when I tried to create an account on it it said, that it cannot be done, because there were too many accounts created on my device, thus I created my apple account online and tried logging in within the settings.
MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
Tap on the blue “Did not get a verification code?”
Based on: https://support.apple.com/102606
A code is sent first to your trusted devices (some other Apple computer or Apple mobile device signed in with your account) automatically. If you have a trusted device running iOS 9 and later, OS X El Capitan and later, iPadOS 13 and later, or watchOS 6 and later, the verification code is displayed automatically on your trusted devices.
If you don’t have a trusted device handy, you can choose to have a verification code sent to your trusted phone number as a text message or phone call.
1. Select “Didn’t Get a Code?” or “Can’t get to your devices?” on the verification code screen.
2. Choose to have the code sent to your trusted phone number.
3. You'll get a text message or phone call from Apple with your verification code. This text message might include an additional domain validation line. This line includes the @ symbol, the website name, and your code (for example: @icloud.com #123456 %apple.com).
4. Enter the code on your other device to complete sign in.
It is a good idea to have more than one trusted number.

Select your country (if you do not see your country, also look for "other" in regions; e.g., "Other Africa"), then "Choose a product". Click the "show" item under each category for more selections. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
If after all that you still can’t receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account [ https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204921 ].
