I got caught out as I had no longer access to the old phone number that was now used to send 2FA text.

oh dang that's not good. I've had the same phone number since 2006 so I didn't really think about it
But the phone number you have is not 100% in your control. I had AT&T flub something and I lost my number and they assigned me a new one (I was chanting my plan just after they did some merging with someone). Granted its unlikely but I would still use defense in depth and not have password reset be my only login method.
