How to receive Apple ID verification codes on a Galaxy phone?

I want to use a phone that is not an apple phone to get verification code when I log in. My husband had the apple phone. He passed away. I don't use it except to intercept messages for my husband. My phone is not an apple phone, but I would like to get the verification codes sent to my phone when I log in. My phone number is in the apple account. Can I use my Galaxy phone to get verification codes? If so, how do I change things in my sign in and security information?

Assuming you mean 2-Factor authentication codes, you can add your number as a trusted phone number and when prompted to get a code, select the "Did not get a code option" and then select Send SMS or call. The system will use the trusted number to send the code then.
