Basically, the title.
I admit I am a very infrequent Apple user and I only have an iPad I bought some time in 2019. Back then I registered an Apple ID / iCloud account, but never really used it as I mostly use Google ecosystem.
Well, long story short, I logged out of this account on my iPad for the first time in 3 years and now when I am trying to log in again on the same device I am asked for a phone number with only last 2 digits shown. The problem is that I moved a few times and I have absolutely no idea what this number may be.
I have access to the e-mail, the account is registered to my legal name, I can look my apple ID up by using the name and e-mail, I remember my password (!), but I can't log into this account again because I don't remember the phone number and I can't find how to start the account recovery process - every time I try to go to some iforget... page, I end up with the same prompt for the phone number that I don't have with no other options suggested.
What should I do? Nothing really of value in that account, so I can probably just create a new one, but still... Am I missing something here?
Thanks!
