Recovery code

On a different Apple ID , I received a recovery code, due to the fact that I don’t have a pc or another device to use to unlock my device. Plus I do not have a trusted account to use, other than my phone. There is no Apple stores in the town I live in. I tried Verizon but they said they couldn’t help me. Also, I do not have the , CORRECT RECOVERY CODE I received the first time. I need a new recovery code. I do not know how to get a new code from a developer. Help?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Two-step verification for Apple ID

👉 scroll to & read -> What if I lose my Recovery Key?

You can sign in to your Apple ID account page and create a new Recovery Key using your Apple ID password and one of your trusted devices.

1 Go to appleid.apple.com/uk.

2 Sign in with your password and trusted device.

3 In the Sign-In and Security section, click Recovery Key > Change Recovery Key.


Keep your new Recovery Key in a safe place. Your old Recovery Key won't work any more and you can't use it to reset your password or access your account. If you can't see Recovery Key in the Sign-In and Security section, then you are not using two-step verification. 

 

FYI: Make a screenshot or write down your recovery key and keep it in a safe place.
