Man, I sympathize. Google can be ruthless with their (IMO poorly implemented) authentication schemes. I queried an LLM and its reply was: Backup Codes If you set up 2FA previously, you should have received a set of backup codes. These are one-time use codes that can bypass the need for other 2FA methods. Check if you saved these codes offline (e.g., on a USB stick, external drive, or printed copy) If you have access, use one of these codes to log in Try Alternative Devices If you have any other devices where you're still logged into your Google account: Use that device to approve the login attempt on your new iPhone Or use it to disable 2FA temporarily, allowing you to log in on the new device Recovery Email If you have a recovery email set up: Try the account recovery process using your recovery email Go to https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery Follow the prompts, using your recovery email to receive a verification code Probably completely worthless. In my case, I was locked out for using my pass'word' (successfully) from a different device and I did not have 2FA active. I'm not sure if it was the official complaint I made or the 7 days I waited, but I got back in after a week of being locked with absolutely no recourse. Good luck, and pardon the slop, if it is.
