Can't sign into Gmail on new iPhone

i have an issue regarding my gmail account

I recently changed my iphone and sold my previous phone also i make sure to sign out my apple id and factory reset that phone before selling it off

Now the problem arise when i try to login my certain gmail account it says google have sent a verification prompt to my previous phone(iphone xs)which I don’t have it in possession and I don’t quite remember the password So i tried to reach to the person who bought it from me and i check that phone throughly there were no traces of my gmail account and also it says open the youtube app to confirm but my gmail it wasnt logged in

so if if there’s anything im missing such if you don’t remove gmail before resetting it remains somewhere in that phone also that old has a different apple id now

In case anyone else is reading this. The same thing happened to me. Instead of turning 2 step authentication off - I went into Manage your google account>security>your devices. My old iPhone was still showing there even though I had reset it to factory settings. I logged out of that device on the laptop and tried again and was able to authenticate my gmail.

I logged into my computer and disabled the 2 factor authentication. Added the account to my iPhone with no problem.

Why are you telling us? This is a google problem, not an Apple problem.

Who or what is "they"?

What did Google support say when you contacted them?

I was told to buy more space ON Google Drive which I refused. Now Google stop all my emails on I Pad; I had lots of GB on I Cloud and doesn't need more space.

So ANNOYING!!
