How do I verify my Google Account without my old phone?
Do you want to access your Google account but your phone is missing (lost or stolen)? For further security, when you use 2-factor authentication, your phone serves as a key to access your account. Is it possible to access your Google account without using a smartphone or 2FA code? Yes, even though there aren't many chances, you still have options.
Note: If you are experiencing problems with Passkeys, you can use the same procedure.
Example 1: Is Your Google Account Logged in on Any Device?
Do you currently have a different phone, tablet, or computer that you use to access your Google account? If so, you can get back into your Google account by disabling 2FA on that device.
Click Turn off under Security > 2-Step Verification in Google Account Settings. For verification purposes, you will be required to provide the password for your Google account; however, you will not be prompted for a 2FA code.
Example 2: If You Own a Reliable Device
Do you recall seeing a "Don't ask again on this device" option when you connect into your Google account? Google marks any device you log into without unchecking this option as a trusted device, meaning it won't request 2FA on that device in the future. It's most likely a gadget that you or a reliable person has.

Thus, attempt to locate a device that you have previously used to access Google. Without 2FA, you can log in with a trusted device. To disable 2FA after logging in, navigate to Google Account Settings > Security > 2-Step Verification.
Situation 3: Unable to Log Into Google Without 2FA
Direct communication with Google is the sole option if none of the aforementioned techniques work. On the 2FA page, click the Get help button to accomplish that.
For a better possibility of your account recovering, use a device that you have previously logged in on and connect to Wi-Fi that both your device and account are familiar with. Inputting your phone number, email address, and security questions (if applicable) will also be required. An access link will be sent to the recovery email address after they have reviewed your request. This can take longer than three to five days to complete.
