I can't get into my Google account that's almost 20 years old because I only have the username, password, recovery email and have all the email forwarded to me, but I no longer have the phone number and they silently enabled 2FA SMS at some point.

I wonder if you can phone the phone number, explain the situation and offer to venmo/paypal the new assignee money for the 2FA code

You could try every 3 - 5 years or so as it gets reassigned again

I tried this before, but I haven't tried for a couple of years -- you're right, it might have got reassigned -- I will try again!
