gmail won't let me sign in on my new phone

Got a new phone and Gmail keeps saying it couldn't verify it's me, even with the right password. The old phone is already wiped so I can't tap the prompt on it. Is there another way to prove the account is mine?

Tap Try another way on that screen. It'll offer whatever you set up: a text to your recovery number, a code to your recovery email, or backup codes if you ever saved them. If none of those work, try signing in from a computer you've used that account on before, at home on your usual Wi-Fi. Google trusts a known device and location much more. Going through account recovery from there can take a few days, so don't keep hammering it in the meantime.
