Without a Trusted Device that you have access to that is logged into the account, the account is lost if you did not write down the Recovery Key when it was set up. That is seen here when setting up a Recovery Key.


This gives you more control of your account recovery methods and can help prevent an attacker from gaining access to and taking control of your account. However, if you lose your recovery key and can’t access one of your trusted devices, you’ll be locked out of your account permanently.
