How do I get my recovery key

Greetings jlcompt,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here.

This article has some more information on the recovery key feature available for your Apple ID: Set up a recovery key for your Apple ID - Apple Support.

From the above article, you'll find this info:

Improve your Apple ID security with a recovery key

A recovery key is an randomly generated 28-character code that helps improve the security of your Apple ID account by giving you more control over resetting your password to regain access to your account.

* When you set up a recovery key, you turn off Apple's standard account recovery process.

* Instead, access to a trusted device or your recovery key will be required to reset your Apple ID password and sign in to your account if you ever lose access.

This gives you more control of your account recovery methods and can help prevent an attacker from gaining access to and taking control of your account. However, if you lose your recovery key and can’t access one of your trusted devices, you'll be locked out of your account permanently.

With that being said, if you have lost your recovery key then there wouldn't be a way to retrieve it at this time.

Thank you for being a part of the community here. We hope this information helps!

Best wishes.
