So for the longest time I've used the Steam app on  my phone to authenticate when I login problem is my phone broke and to remove the mobile authenticator they need the last used or current code which I can't get... What should I do?

Why not? I've never had to deal with steam support so wouldn't know. 

Because steam are very strict about their security and have some of the shittiest customer support

I'm sure there is an option to email you the code then change it to email in settings while you get a new phone.

I can't find it plus you probably need the authenticator code from my old phone.

You don't know the backup recovery codes? Also I found this. In the end you may end up contacting Steam Support.
