> — never give out codes sent to use via sms or push notifications to someone requesting them via phone or email. Never. The messages often even say that! I tried making this point downthread but it bears repeating higher up. Per OP, this was account with Authenticator enabled. If you have a working authenticator setup, they aren't going to "ask for a code", since by definition you're already authenticated. And while I'm no expert, I really don't think there is such a thing. Recovery for a lost account never goes back to device-in-hand once you have enabled full 2FA. Something is being skipped in the description of the phish here. I don't think OP is being completely honest. | ||||||||

The code I read to them was a Google account recovery code. That’s how they accessed my Google account. I, mistakenly, believed they needed to confirm I was still alive and the rightful owner of the account. Then the attacker used Google SSO to perform the initial log in to my coinbase account. Then they opened Google Authenticator, signed in as me, to get the coinbase auth code so they could complete coinbase’s 2fac. | ||||||||
