If you've lost access to your old phone and need to verify your Google Account, here are several alternative methods you can try:

Recovery Email: If you set up a recovery email when you created your account, Google can send a verification code to that email address. Access the email, retrieve the code, and enter it on the Google verification page.

Backup Codes: Google provides backup codes that you can use to sign in if you're unable to access your phone. These codes should have been saved or printed when you first enabled two-factor authentication (2FA). Each code can only be used once, so make sure to keep them secure.

Authenticator App on Another Device: If you have Google Authenticator or a similar app installed on another device, you can use it to generate a verification code. This is an easy way to bypass the need for your old phone.

Alternative Phone Number: If you’ve linked a secondary phone number to your Google Account, you can receive a verification code on that number via SMS or a voice call.

Security Questions: Google may ask you to answer security questions that you previously set up when creating your account. Providing the correct answers can help you verify your identity.

Account Recovery Form: If the above methods don't work, you can use Google’s Account Recovery form. This form will ask for information like the last password you remember, when you last accessed the account, and other details. The more accurate information you provide, the better your chances of recovering your account.

After successfully verifying your account, update your recovery options with your new phone number to prevent future access issues.
