You can also get a text message or phone call from Apple to get the verification code.

Follow the steps, mentioned in the related article:


...

If you don’t have a trusted device handy, you can 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. If you use the Unknown Senders filtering in the Messages app, check there for your verification code.

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


To reset your Apple Account password, you can choose "Forgot Password?" on any sign-in screen and follow the onscreen instructions.


If you have a trusted device, you can use it to change your password directly in Settings. If you don't have a trusted device, you can request account recovery at iforgot.apple.com or by using the Apple Support app on a borrowed device.


If you need more help, contact Apple Support directly.


Good Luck! 👋🏼😉
