Your best option is to contact the mail provider and see if you can get the email account reactivated, even temporarily, so you can receive the one-time security code.

Hi Asfiya! It sounds like you're receiving the one-time security code, which is different to 2FA (2FA codes are usually sent to your mobile device, and not your email address).
Can you currently access this email address, so that we can log a ticket for you instead?

Currently m using this email.
And i am talking about 6 digit verification code which is asked while signing in.
