It is safe to register a phone number or email address for resetting in case you cannot log in to your Google account.
However, what should I do if I do not receive the 6-digit verification code when I try to register the phone number or email address for resetting?
There are six main causes when you do not receive the verification code. Let's see how to deal with it in order.
If Google services are temporarily unavailable, you will not be able to request a verification code for reconfiguration. In this case, please wait for a while and try again.
If you change the communication carrier such as docomo → au without changing the phone number, you may not receive the text message immediately even if you request the confirmation code immediately after that. It may be available after a while, so try again.
It is possible that your carrier, such as docomo or au, accidentally blocked a text message containing a verification code sent by Google. Ask each carrier not to block messages from Google.
If you do not receive the SMS containing the confirmation code, the signal is poor, and if you do not receive the email, your smartphone may not be connected to the Internet.
If you are in a location with poor signal conditions, move to another location and try again. Also, switch between Wi-Fi / mobile data communication and try again.
There is a possibility that the confirmation code cannot be requested due to a malfunction of the smartphone. Restart your device once and request the verification code again.
If you request the verification code multiple times at one time, you will receive an error message. Please note that there is a limit to the number of reset code requests that can be sent in a day.
If you think you've exceeded the limit, try again after 24 hours.

The confirmation code you receive from Google is made up of "G-" and a 6-digit number, such as "G- ◯◯◯◯◯◯". When entering this verification code, do not include the "G-", but enter only the 6-digit number.
If you've entered a verification code and it still doesn't authenticate, request it again and try a new 6-digit verification code.
If you can register the phone number or email address for resetting, why not set up a "two-step verification process" that enhances the security of your Google account.
If there is a login from a third party, there is a high possibility that unauthorized access can be prevented.

If you don't receive the 2-step verification verification code, the workaround is the same as if you didn't receive the reset verification code.

When you register for a Google account, enter the phone number of your smartphone to prove that you are the creator of the account.
This phone number can basically be used several times, so you can create multiple Google accounts with one phone number. However, please note that if you use it too much, a screen like the one in the above picture will be displayed and you will not be able to create an account.
