Google Authenticator gets a little confusing when it backs up your phone’s 2FA codes to your Google account that’s presumably locked with a 2FA code (which is saved in Authenticator?). That’s a bad loop to be in!
If you’re doing this and don’t want to be locked out of all your accounts if you lose your phone, go print off or write down the backup codes for that Google account. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1187538?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop
