This is what the backup, one time use codes are for. You should keep a set in your wallet, bag, or whatever non-electronic thing you keep with you all the time. I have so far had to use that once in the time since google introduced 2-factor, but man was it ever useful.

Ah. Right. Unfortunately, that's one thing I and probably many people don't ever write down because "writing down 'password' is bad". I probably should do that for my 2-auth since the probability of someone I am familiar with stealing my wallet and attempting to log in my email is probably negligible.
