Thanks for the tip!

After reading this, I tried it and it didn't work. Even jumped on a call with support and they told me there is no way to turn on 2FA without the security questions (at least for my account, maybe other accounts can).

The shitty thing is you also delete your account or create a new one with the same email without knowing the security questions.

Oh well :/

Still, thanks for the hope (short-lived as it was).

Strange as I can assure you that this is how I recovered the account. This was on macOS Sierra which might be part of it then System Preferences -> iCloud

The first apple support person I talked to did not know how-to recover the account this way. So it does not seem to be in the scripts.
