My ex (good riddance) from a situationship I was in remotely factory reset my phones and now I have no way to 2 step verify my email since I don't have any other devices with that email available and my phone number attached to it is old. I've given up trying to get in. Just a bummer since I had a lot of important stuff on it. But since I'm working out rn, any pointers I could get as a semi experienced (lots when I was in HS but that's been 12 yrs give or take) but yet beginner lifter? Otherwise how my chapos doin?

I assume the answer is no, but usually there is a set of one time recovery codes that can also be used if you lose your 2 factor authentication device.

What email provider is this account with?

Gmail, tried several times... And they don't do account recovery over the phone, haven't tried but it said so somewhere or other, it's a potential risk
