I think you may still be at the verification stage to enable 2 factor 
authentication.  It appears you have to use one of the methods Google 
deems acceptable to assure them "you are you".

Once you get past that stage, you can then "go back to security" to 
request a key.  You can write it down or copy and paste what is provided 
as the key.

I confess I did not find the process "a piece of cake".
