I upgraded to a Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S25 FE from a Samsung Galaxy A23 yesterday. I transferred the data using Smart Switch. I am having a issue receiving TFA codes via Google Messages on one or two of my book marked websites on Google. Verification by SMS in Google settings are toggled.

Any ideas?

Another footnote is I did not receive text messages either today from my Carrier for link to reset my password for my voicemail. But I had gotten password issue fixed by visiting a store.

I will have to check if there's an option to use an authentication app.
It's just weird the ones I am having issues with now worked previously before the upgrade to new phone.

Try this, go to settings, apps, type in Google Play Services, open it, scoll down to App Details in Store, open that and see if there is an update.

There's no update available. Just says remove updates.

Also uninstall Google Messages. then apply the update. This usually fixes Google Messages problems.

Clear Messaging App Cache/Data: Go to Settings > Apps > Messages > Storage and tap Clear Cache.

Check Blocked/Spam Messages: Open the Messages app > Settings > Block numbers and spam > Blocked messages to see if the OTP was incorrectly filtered.

Restart & Airplane Mode: Restart the device or toggle Airplane mode on and off to refresh network connections.

Reset Network Settings: Go to Settings > General Management > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

I was able to fix my problem with a combo all your solutions.
One issue that repaired it was having to update my device to settings on certain apps and websites.
Thank you all for your insight.
