- tptacek 10y agoYou can, but is there a way to do it such that Facebook won't under any circumstances send an SMS message?
- evgen 10y agoGood question. I am not sSure you can do it without using SMS to bootstrap the process, but if you have TOTP set up and then turn on U2F (with TOTP as the backup) then I think you can disable SMS messages.
- tptacek 10y agoEither I'm dumb, or if that's true it's only true since they added U2F today. (It's very possible that I'm dumb!)
- evgen 10y agoSo digging around a bit on the page the 'Learn More' in the login approvals (https://www.facebook.com/help/148233965247823 https://www.facebook.com/help/148233965247823) claims that you can turn off SMS codes, but I no longer have the advantage of being able to walk over a few desks to get a real verification :) I may try to set up U2F later today and see if this actually works... You would also need to turn off login notifications (section just above login approvals in the security settings page.)
