Is https://idmsa.apple.com a legitimate Apple site?

Thank you both for your support.

Initially I was looking for a way to see my recovery key for the two step verification. A friend told me he lost his password and never saved his recovery key. Now he has no possibility to access his apple account and lost all of his stuff in it like music and apps.

Actually I don't know my recovery key either and I don't see a way to look it up. Therefore I started a google search and found a link starting https://idmsa.apple.com. The site looked normal, perhaps a little minimalistic but ok and the little lock in the adress field was green.

So I typed in my apple id and the password and imediately my phone asked for confirmation. I confirmed and received the number key and typed it in........ quiet a time nothing happens but the waiting symbol. Some java script waited for data I assume. Than, all of a sudden the site loaded new with the initial question for password and id. I tried this a second time with the same result. Now I was a little concerned and started my investigation.

Thanks to you I'm relieved. The history of my browser show, this URL was a original apple.com, plus https://idmsa in the beginning and some data behind.

This lead me to my first intention, to get my recovery key. Perhaps you know how I can see this in my account. The support page from apple is not helping because according to this I have to

1. Sign in with your password and trusted device.
2. In the Security section, click Edit > Replace Lost Key.

But in the security section, if I click edit there is no possibility to "Replace Lost Key" only change password.
