If my Google Voice number is my 2-Factor Auth Number am I Screwed?

1 pointsby livejamiealmost 10 years ago
I changed my password today on my Google account because I wanted to make it stronger. I have 2-factor auth via my Google Hangouts number. (I realize now that was a mistake, I was going to fix that as well.)<p>As soon as I changed my password it logged me out of my phone and my other accounts and now I don&#x27;t have access to Google Voice or Hangouts or anything. So now when I log in with my (changed) password it asks me for a text message that I have no way of getting.<p>I have access to the backup email on my account and the actual phone number (like for a voice call) but I don&#x27;t see an option to authenticate via phone call.<p>This is what I see: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;atxQSB9.png<p>Is there anything I can do? I don&#x27;t have access to anything. I was just trying to fix all of this and make my account more secure. :(<p>I filled out the &quot;Account Recovery&quot; form that says it takes 3-5 business days.<p>I pay for Google Storage (Gmail, Photos, Drive) I pay for Google Voice, I pay for Google Play Music All Access, I&#x27;ve spent hundreds in the Play Store and I&#x27;d happily pay for support here, but I&#x27;m just stuck.
