Two Factor Authentication Without Second Device

Hi All,


I'm trying to log in to my Apple ID after performing a factory reset on my Macbook, however it won't let me access my ID without two factor authentication and says it is sending codes to my other devices. The problem is I don't have any of the other devices I have previously used with my Apple ID.... Any suggestions?


Thanks in advance

Tom

If you no longer have your trusted device, you can try these steps and then request account recovery.
