There is no recovery method. This is intentional because it means that you—and only you—have a way of getting access to the account. If Apple provided a recovery method it could mean that somebody impersonating you could get access to the account. This is one of the downsides to choosing a high security method.


From the article provided in a previous post: "You're responsible for maintaining access to your security keys. If you lose all of your trusted devices and security keys, you could be locked out of your account permanently."
