Last I checked 2fa on Facebook REQUIRES a phone number to be provided so that your phone is an sms based backup method. Apparently all the talented engineers at Facebook didn't think "oh, let them download a few spares backup codes like ever other service" or that sms based backups are a stupid idea.

Backup codes are available, once you've enabled 2FA: https://www.facebook.com/help/148104135383285?helpref=search&sr=5&query=codes https://www.facebook.com/help/148104135383285?helpref=search...

  Well... I don't want to legitimize their "need" for my phone number (which granted they already figure out through contact books of others, they don't even hide that they've inferred it). Phones and 2fa are not dependent upon one another.

      Don't know, I think google voice is only available in US/Canada, no? (I'm not in either of those countries)
