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).

Just to be very clear. This is happening because you didn’t have MFA active. I know it hurts to hear, but this is why you always migrate first, wipe the device second. MFA would’ve allowed you several methods for proof of ID. If your phone gets stolen, then thieves can’t even use the phone for anything. You can remote wipe and block the device, and it turns into paperweight. The device nukes your data then locks the bootloader.
