Add Two-Factor Authentication:

On a separate device, add Two-Factor Authentication on it. That way, you can get access to your account login through it. To do so, contact Apple Support...


Contact Apple Support:

You must contact Apple Support, asking the App Rep on the phone to modify it to what it should be.  Important: Perform a trial-&-error login session, prior to ending the call.

Apple Contact Info:

Why the Wait:

Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
