Having the phone number as a fallback really kills the added security that an authentication app offers. I would like to remove my phone number as a backup, and instead have one time codes if I need them. Is there any way to do this? even if I don't have a backup I would rather re-create my account then have the phone number as a secondary 2FA option.

Click on My Account at the top of the program screen. Click on Account Settings. Click on Security. Make any changes needed in the Security section.

This does not help. The only option is to remove 2FA altogether and I do not want to do that. I would like to remove only my phone as an option, and leave the authentication app in place.

This is hilariously bad. Intuit is obviously just requiring phone numbers so they can scrape information from people instead of giving them actual TOTP or Yubikey / Google Titan based MFA.

Cool way to ruin your MFA Intuit! Fix this dumbass garbage!
