Lost Apple ID recovery key and need to generate a new one

Hello, I have lost my Apple ID recovery key. I cannot turn it off or replace it because it always asks for the old recovery key. I still have my trusted phone number and device. Please help me generate a new recovery key or disable the old one.

If you indeed still have a Trusted Device which is signed-in to your Apple Account, simply generate a new key.


Doing so cancels the previous key.
