I have a gmail account I never enabled 2fa on, or set up a recovery email. However, it had an old phone number I haven't used in >8 years.
2 years ago, I tried logging into the account, and google told me I needed to verify an SMS message due to logging in from a new location (I had logged into this account from Canada before).
I tried calling the old phone number, but it's disconnected. So unless I want to move back to the U.S. to try to get that same phone number again, I probably won't be able to access this account until someone gets that phone number, and I manage to talk them into passing along the authentication message
