This happened with some of my friends, and locked them out of their gmail accounts(2FA disabled accounts).
Google won't let them login to their accounts after providing correct password & SMS OTP.
Remaining options include:
1. give date(month year) of email sign-up, which most don't remember
2. pasword reset over alternate email address, which wasn't set during signup.
The only way for free gmail users to get help is support forum ran by gmail user volunteers, which didn't solve the problem.
To me this approach to security, just seem super paranoic.
