Does anyone know how to disable SMS 2 Factor Authentication?

T-Mobile doesn’t do security, they do security theater.

They are not serious about real security.

I seriously cannot believe that they have ignored this problem.

 I am seriously considering leaving T-Mobile just because of this security flaw. I just can't believe they haven't addressed it yet when this brought up two years ago!

Any updates? I assumed that I just didn’t see the correct option before finding this thread 😣

Any update on this? I added Authy TFA and enabled “always ask” assuming this would disable SMS based TFA but obviously it did not.

ETA on this? SMS is not secure and hasn’t been for years.

The reason I am hoping to use DIGITS is so that I can actually receive texts and voicemails where I work, which has low to zero cell service penetration, at least in my area of the facility.  Requiring SMS authentication essentially defeats the purpose for which I need DIGITS.  Another provider has a DAS installed in my building, and I am happy to switch, if TMO is unable or unwilling to remove this roadblock.

I really hope we have a way to do this. I’m getting SMS ID verifications texts and I have Google setup. I just reset my password but still getting the texts. On the line with support and the guy has no idea if this can be done. The tech really asked me to tell him the 6 digit code that says right on the text they will not ask for the code.

This is a major security problem for this company specifically. Not to mention NIST condemning SMS 2FA. How many accounts must be SIM swapped before they implement this?

Yes, it’s absolutely imperative that T-Mobile give us the option of disabling SMS 2-factor authorization as soon as possible. An authenticator app is far superior, but it doesn’t help as long as the security hole of SMS 2fa remains open. You’ve got to make this happen T-Mobile!

deal breaker - moving entire company away from T-Mobile just because of this security flaw
