There are no other options. This is even more stupid than the phone number verification thing. Attemping to logging to Google Play Store on that wiped device (which previously was logged in to the account) doesn't work either.

Luckily, this is a throwaway account, not much data of value was lost. FRP on the wiped device was also off.

But like, what is the point of this. Suppose, my phone got stolen. How am I supposed to log in to Google to initiate a remote wipe, if it ask for a verification code which is on the phone that the thief has?

Zero logic at all. 🤦‍♂️

Edit: And MFA was never enabled. Just to clarify.

I know this doesn’t directly solve your issue, and it might not help much now, but I wanted to share my experience just in case it’s useful.

When I had a similar problem after switching phones, what ended up helping was that I had 2FA enabled beforehand. In that case, after selecting the option to recover my account suddenly allowed me to receive a verification code via SMS—something that didn’t appear on the usual login screen, it was greyed out before selecting this option.

It probably won’t work if 2FA is disabled, but maybe it’s still worth checking if any recovery options that shows up helps. There might be a choice there that helps you resolve your problem as well.

In any case, good luck—I hope you’re able to get it sorted soon!
