As if they won’t arbitrarily lock your account and force you to enter a phone number because of “suspicious behavior” anyway... You could already disable SMS 2

You could already disable SMS 2FA after enabling TOTP, but removing your phone number completely used to disable 2FA.
- VvR-Ox 7y agoSame here. I didn't want to give them my number and they blocked my account because of 'suspicious behaviour'. Now I wrote to their support after reading this and I am very interested in their response. I think if they go on trying to force me I will just delete the account. This is the only thing that helps those companies to understand their users needs when they have problems listening or seeing them on their own, I'm afraid.
- VvR-Ox 7y agoUPDATE: The support was very fast and kind and they unlocked my account without the need to provide a phone number.
- donalhunt 7y agoStill does from my experience today! If you log into your account and turn off SMS-based 2FA it also turns off TOTP-based 2FA!! Fortunately I wanted to switch to a different authenticator anyway (twitter buried their TOTP tokens deep within the android app).
