Google 2FA problem!?
Ahoy
Initial situation: My son wanted to log in to Google using 2FA. Problem: He listened to me (how could he!) and deactivated his SIM card at home so he could use Wi-Fi and save mobile data.
He tried 2FA several times to get his access code. Google sent all the passwords to him, but he never received them (because his SIM card was off).
Problem: since then, after discovering that the SIM card is off and trying to log in again, the message "Too many login attempts, try again later!" always appears.
Can someone please tell me how long it will take before they can try again?! Trying to reach Google by phone is a waste of time, and my written attempts have gone unanswered for a day.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Kind regards from Cologne,
3ME 🖖

Yes, that's very stupid, normally you can turn off mobile data separately from the rest of it.
And why don't you use the Google app for 2FA? You can only use Google stuff when you're online anyway?

This is precisely the app I've installed. And that seems to be the problem. Unfortunately, it's not easy to explain something to a young person, because you, as a rheumatism-blanket zombie, have no clue anyway. Unfortunately, half-listening leads to mistakes.
So the question is: How do you get Google to send a one-time password to the now switched on phone?!?
Try again after 24 hours. But when I used something like that in connection with an identity verification with my health insurance company, I actually had to wait several days. I only found out because a competing health insurance company uses the same service provider, and it was listed on that other company's website.

If this doesn't work:

then the whole thing is hopeless, and a new account must be created. All account recovery methods require that the account was set up correctly at an earlier point in time. If this hasn't been done, there's no way to activate the account.
