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.

You should enable MFA yes. But it’s definitely not reasonable to expect a forced half-assed version of MFA that keeps changing when you DON’T enable MFA. OP should have migrated the account before wiping the phone but this behavior was not caused by them.
