There should be other options for 2FA you can setup going forward, like authenticator or using the Gmail app on your phone. Some cell providers allow calls / SMS over wifi now, too. There’s also might be a way to use backup codes.
I use FIDO2 security keysfor 2FA wherever I can and recommend them to everyone. I just don’t have it set up for my Google account since I just don’t use said account so never got round to it. But you are right to encourage me regardless—I should get round to it since I very likely will be forced to use a Google account again in the future and when that happens I might again be travelling.
