Hello,
I closed my account today and created a new one because I had wrong name on the old one. Now that I have a new one, I wanted to use security key on this account and I wanted to use my phone number from closed account, but I can't. It says that: This number was used to get an existing security key. You’ll need to use a new number. But I closed that account, shouldn't I be able to use this number again ?

Apparently you didn't remove the phone number from the old account so it is not available for use now.

Well,
that's weird becuase I didn't change my e-mail in the old account but I could use it to create this account. Shouldn't all information except bank and credit card be reusable after closing an account ??
