You can remove your phone number from your account to disable the security-defeating manner of how WF allows telephone 2FA to override the physical OTP 2FA.
I am still baffled that Wells Fargos effectively eliminates any security benefit of the RSA-style OTP 2FA token devices by allowing telephone/SMS authentication as an alternative at login-time. It's like they don't understand security or they don't care.
