Comment on Google requires me to find a "verification code" from my android device in order to log in; the device in question has already been wiped (factory reset).

  No. When you enable 2FA Google gives you about 10 backup codes that will always work regardless of if you have access to your authenticator app.

  Apparently they’re called backup codes now. I could swear they used to be called airplane codes (because they’re offline ig). It’s just some randomly generated 8-digit codes.
