Can icloud email addresses somehow be set up to where it is linked to a phone number within the settings of the actual email itself? I am trying to access an old icloud account I have but every time I try and sign in, it tries to send a two factor auth code to my old phone number that I no longer have access to.
When I click other options, it gives an option to send to a different number, but when I enter my current number it won't let me do it.
I have checked my settings on my phone and two factor auth is my new phone number and the old one isn't in there. When I tried to add it to my account it says the email address is taken.
What am I missing here? It appears it is seeing it as a separate Apple ID almost, and won't let me add it to my current account.
