Google doesn’t give you codes. They don’t even tell you that they enabled 2FA. If you log in on an android device, they will automatically enable it for 2FA, and for some reason they assume you will have access to this phone until the end of time, even if you haven’t turned it on in months. The only way to go around this is to set up 2FA manually.
Google has locked so many people I know out of their accounts it’s ridiculous.

Tell it to my print out of emergency 2FA codes sitting in my documents safe. support.google.com/accounts/answer/1187538 You can get a new set of 10 backup codes whenever you want. When you create a new set of codes, the old set automatically becomes inactive.
