  How can I enable two factor authentication WITHOUT providing my phone number ?
  I want to use my 2 fido2 security key to login to this website. If I lose one, I can use the other, and optionnally the backups code. In this scenario the sms only lower the security and is another way to get confidential data from my – I don’t want to share it.
