How to get the verification code through google auth. app?

I recently made an account by accident with my google account, and I logged out of it, now it won't let me in until I type in the code generated by some sort of authentiator, or don't type in one of my opera security codes...
I have downloaded the google auth. app, and I'm left unhelped by the process... Could you help?

@victoryus It seems to you have enabled the second factor authentication and that's why you are being required to provide the code from the authenticator app that you've chosen to use when you enabled the 2FA.

If you can't access the app, you can use one of the backup codes that were given to you when you enabled second factor authentication.

@leocg How may I access these backup codes other than signing in?
I have access to the app, since I could download it, but unfortunately google products are not that easy to use for me, in fact, I don't even know what I shall type in to the "Account name" and "Your key"...

@victoryus Well, you were supposed to have them saved somewhere.

@victoryus When you turn on 2FA, you scan a QR code using the authenticator app of your choice and the necessary info is filled on the app.
