Apple ID verification is being sent to the old employer iPhone

My husband had a phone that belonged to his former employer. He now has his own but his Apple ID verification is being sent to the old employer phone. What options do we have? We can’t even get logged into his email.

See if anything here helps.  If necessary, you can use account recovery as explained in the link at bottom of the article.

If you can get a code and sign in, you need to change/add the number on your Apple ID. Look in the Security section when signed in online. You may have to add the new number before you can remove the old number. After the change, allow up to 24 hours for the change to sync. Before trying to make the change, sign out of Messages/FaceTime on all devices/computers.
