can’t receive verification code

i’m trying to set up an iphone for someone else using a different apple id than mine. when he tries to log in using his apple id and password it asks for a verification code using two factor authentication however he no longer has his old phone that the trusted number is attached to and therefor cannot receive the verification codes being sent. is there a way to log into his account without the verification codes
