Reset AppleID password not working

Tried to use iforgot.apple.com from my PC to reset my password. Entered my mobile number and received a message on my iPhone to "Allow" which I did, but no further instructions, next steps or re-direct to reset a password happened.


This reset is for one of my old AppleID's As my iPhone uses a new AppleID, would this be the issue?


After Allowing, what was supposed to happen? How do I reset AppleID passwords when the iforgot process fails?

See if anything here helps. Can you reset the password using your phone instead of your PC?


Enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.
