I'm having a tough time recovering my Gmail because Google keeps sending recovery codes to my mailbox, which I'm trying to access, even though I have a working recovery phone number. This issue is preventing me from logging into my EA account, and the support team hasn't been able to help. I was wondering if it's possible to automate the process of guessing the 2FA codes I receive when trying to log in through my linked PSN account. Could I create a program that automatically enters codes until I succeed?

Unfortunately, that's not a viable option. Google has likely implemented measures to limit attempts like that. Even if you could try guessing the code, there are about 1 million possible 6-digit combinations, which means it could take ages. If you could somehow try 10 codes per second, it might take about 1.15 days to get through them all. But keep in mind, Google has put in systems to prevent brute forcing, so they will likely slow down your attempts or even lock you out altogether.
It's really not feasible to brute force your 2FA codes because they expire really quickly, and by the time you send one, the next one is already invalid. Plus, if you start sending attempts too quickly, you could get locked out entirely. I recommend reaching out to Google Support, even if it's frustrating.
