      I like how you conveniently cropped out the “try another way” button:

      No, this is user error. It clearly strongly recommended you to print out your backup code when the MFA was enabled. If you forgot or ignored it and then wiped an important phone, that’s on you.

          I like that when you come across one of the many Google dark patterns and complain about it, a fanboy always shows up out of nowhere to tell you it’s impossible and you did something wrong.

          I once had an issue logging in to Google where they wanted to verify me some way that I couldn’t complete. I eventually got around it by going through the “Forgot Password” workflow instead of logging in normally. I have no idea if this still works or whether it will make things worse for you, but if all else fails it might be worth a try.
