Locked out of Gmail
I got a new phone and wiped my old one so I can trade it in. I forgot the password to my email address. When trying to log in on my new phone, it prompts me to put in the last password I remember. I put in the password I had written down. It asks for my phone number. I put in my phone number. It says to open the Gmail app on my iPhone 12 and put in the code. I just reset my iPhone 12 because I got a new phone. Why does it need to be on the iPhone 12 app and it just text me a code since I put in my phone number?
I tried to transfer all my data back to my old phone, but it failed.
I’m at a loss on what to do.
