if it was chrome with sync on, don't worry about the bookmarks and saved passwords. signing out doesn't delete them from your account, they come back once you're signed in again.

Is your phone still signed in to that Google account? If so, when you try on the laptop you should get a "Is it you trying to sign in?" prompt on the phone. Open the Gmail or Google app if it doesn't pop up. What usually trips people up is doing this on a different network or a fresh browser. Try it on your home wifi, in the same browser you normally use, and keep picking "Try another way" until you get an option you can actually do.
