  Or use backup codes.

  Or/and RTFWP:

'Turn on 2-Step Verification'
<https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839>
"...
 Use other verification methods
 ...
 Use backup codes

 You can print or download a set of 8-digit backup codes to keep in a
 safe place. Backup codes are helpful if you lose your phone."

  To be fair/[f|F]rank, it took me all of a few nanoseconds to come up
with this search, which yielded the above result at the very top:

"google account 2-step verification"
