I just had this experience yesterday! I entered the correct password, the right recovery email, even asked for a code to be sent to the recovery email address and entered it but Google still didn’t allow me log in. I had the same experience last year with the gmail account I created for my app. I travelled and Google didn’t allow me login from my laptop (cos I was in a different country). Entered the code from my recovery account and still no show. In both instances it asked for a phone number to send me a code. If it refused to accept the code from my recovery email, why would the one from a text message be different. Besides, I didn’t want to provide my phone number to gmail
