This phone verification shit is so awful. I have two friends who moved overseas and disconnected their cellphone plans without thinking about their MFA situation.
Today I have to enforce MFA at the small company I'm working at, and just a month prior I held a cybersecurity seminar for them and explained that "phone MFA is… okay… but you should really use verification apps." But I didn't realize that you can't even enable authenticator-app-MFA with Google without doing it through a phone first… just infuriating.
