True but also I wasn’t there when other people had to clear out my apartment so I didn’t have much of a clue wether or not it would be saved.
Still know my pw managers pw by heart and have my gmail account pw written down but not that actual code, no.

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.

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.
