How do I get started?
- Go to iCloud.com.
- Click Create Apple ID.
- Fill out the required account information including your email address, a strong password, and security questions.
- Verify your email address by entering the 6-digit code we send you.
- Accept the iCloud Terms of Service.
If you're signing in and don't have a trusted device handy that can display verification codes, you can have a code sent to your trusted phone number via text message or an automated phone call instead. Click Didn't Get a Code on the sign in screen and choose to send a code to your trusted phone number.

One of the ways to unlock an Apple ID without a phone number is to use the two-factor authentication system. If you have this feature enabled in your account, all you need to do is access one of the trusted devices and tap on an option to unlock your account.
You cannot. Two factor authentication relies on having a phone number or another Apple device in order to receive verification codes. You can add another trusted phone number if you choose as it doesn't need to be an iPhone, just a phone that can receive text messages.
If you changed your Apple ID and didn't update it on your iOS device, you might see the "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert. Enter your previous Apple ID and password to confirm that you want to sign out. If your Apple ID and password aren't accepted, use these steps to sign out and set up iCloud.
Go to your Apple ID account page and enter your Apple ID and password. On the Verify Your Identity screen, select "Can't access your trusted devices?" In the pop-up window, enter your Recovery Key.
