What benefit does this have vs Google Takeout?

My Google takeout doesn't work because it requires a 2FA from Google authenticator which I no longer have.

You could attempt to get that 2fa removed by trying to sign in from a new device and following the steps to recover your account.

Good luck recovering when you're nowhere logged in

The issue isn't 2fa it's Google authenticator. When I log in from a new device lets me log in using my phone as 2fa but that is not an option for takeout -- only authenticator. I can find no way to remove it.

So when your cookie expires you're done for?

I can log in using phone as 2fa just fine. But takeout only accepts Authenticator.
