You are trying to log in to your Gmail account but can’t due to a 2-step verification. The 2-step verification does not work through text messages or phone calls, right? I also face the same problem. Every time I try to log in to my Gmail account, I can’t.
They send a notification to my device, which I am already logged into. I don’t want to use this option. I want to use text messages to verify. But every time, the option to get the verification through a text message is greyed out with the message, “Unavailable because you have more secure options.”
But I found a solution.
1. Click on “Get Help.”
2. You will see this page. After that, click on “Try another way.”
3. You will then see a prompt asking for your phone number. Enter it and press “Send.”
4. They will send a verification code to your number. Enter the code to submit it.
5. After that, you will see this message.
