    No. Only phone number. The password is sent by SMS on every login.

        It’s not a password it’s a one time code to confirm you have access to the phone number.

          Still bad. TOTP is better than that.

            Like I said, the goal is to verify access to the phone number, because that’s the main account identification.

            TOTP is not related to the phone number in any way.
