    Not always, beat practice is somewhre between 2 and 5 minutes. You can always get another one when you need it.

    i will have to get the person who set up the gmail account to send me another code, there is no way i can enter the code now without trying to reset the password again? its awkward as its another person who set up the gmail account through their own email.

    I'm not sure, that's strictly not allowed so it makes sense they don't accommodate that. You could just keep them on the phone while you are doing it or the code you have might still work.
