DU tips - new phone. Can't sign in to Gmail. 2 step verification - VERY FRUSTRATING [View all]

[underpants]

New iPhone 12 mini - I like the size.

I’ve tried everything I can think of.

My phone remembers my password but I keep getting a screen saying:
Open the Gmail app on iPhone
Gent sent a notification to your iPhone. Open the Gmail app and tap Yes in the prompt to verify it’s you.

i can’t log into my Gmail app. THAT’s THE PROBLEM It seems like a vicious circle.

I tried going to an old iPad and Duck Duck Go through that iPad but I guess both are tied to my phone number.

I’ve tried Google Account Recovery search and everything I can think of. I have a payment I need to make and I have an email with the link saved in my Gmail plus Gmail is basically my email.
