Tell it to my print out of emergency 2FA codes sitting in my documents safe.

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.

    Yeah if you're smart with the computor like me and you then you keep your 2FA backup somewhere. But if you're just a normal person, it doesn't occur to you. Google doesn't even do a very good job reminding you to properly set up 2FA in the first place.
