If you mean a recovery key for 2 Step Verification, and you can't log in and verify any other way, you are out of luck. However, you should still be able to log in with your user ID, passcode and an SMS code sent to your device. Once you do that you can generate a new Recovery Key.

There's nothing anyone can do to help you. A Recovery Key is sent to you ONCE when you set up 2 step verification. You are told to protect it with your life, because without it you can never get into your iCloud account again. So hopefully you printed it out and saved it somewhere safe. Because Apple means what they say.


If you don't mean a 2 Step Verification recovery key please enlighten us with what you do mean.
