Recover Old Apple Id without phone number or trusted devices

Hello :)


I try to recover my old apple ID from years ago but I do not know my old phone number.

I was travelling and changed my phone number to a temporary local number thats why I don’t have a clue what the number is. I also do not have any trusted devices linked to the apple id.


I now try to recover the apple id but get stuck on the 2fa asking for my phone number.


I do know the password of the account.


Is there anything I can do to recover my account without knowing the phone number?


thank you so much!

Without at least knowing the trusted number you won't be able to do account recovery. It's the way Apple verifies.


At this point you'll just have to setup a new Apple ID to use.


Good Luck.
